1
Season the Fish
Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil over the fillets, then generously coat both sides with Cajun seasoning.
2
Blacken the Fish
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the fillets to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and has a blackened crust. Remove from heat and let rest.

3
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash the lettuce leaves under cold water and pat dry. Slice the tomato into thin rounds and the red onion into thin rings.
4
Assemble the Sandwich
Cut the ciabatta rolls in half horizontally. Spread a tablespoon of tartar sauce on the bottom half of each roll. Place a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, a few rings of red onion, and pickle slices on top. Add the cooked mahi mahi fillet and cover with the top half of the ciabatta roll.
5
Serve
Serve the blackened mahi sandwiches immediately with extra tartar sauce on the side.
