  • 3/4 t paprika
  • 1/2 t black pepper
  • 1/2 t cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 t kosher salt
  • 4 (5-oz.) skinless tilapia fillets
  • 2 T canola oil, divided

Stir together spices in a small bowl. Rub spice mixture evenly over fillets. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add half of fish to pan; cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove fish from pan. Repeat process with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and remaining fish. Preheat broiler to high with oven rack in top position. Arrange rolls, cut sides up, in a single layer on a baking sheet. Broil until golden, 30 to 45 seconds. Stir together mayonnaise, capers, mustard, ketchup and Tabasco in a bowl. Spread mixture over cut sides of rolls. Place lettuce, onion, and tomato on bottom halves of rolls. Add fish; cover with top halves of rolls.
