MAKE THE TZATZIKI: Finely grate the cucumber into a bowl. Mix with the remaining tzatziki ingredients until combined.
MIX THE SEASONING: Combine all the Cajun seasoning ingredients in a small bowl. Coat both sides of the cod with the seasoning.
COOK THE COD: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter from the sandwich ingredients. Cook the cod for a few minutes on all sides, until browned and 145°F in the center. Remove and set aside.
COOK THE ONIONS: Add the sliced onion, remaining 1 Tbsp butter, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened and caramelized. Remove the onion, then toast the cut sides of the buns in the pan.
ASSEMBLE: Spread tzatziki on each bottom bun. Layer with cod, lettuce, tomato and caramelized onion, then add the top bun.
