1
Pat the mahi-mahi fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. When shimmering, place the mahi-mahi fillets in the pan. Sear for 3-4 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes until opaque and lightly browned. Remove from pan and rest warm.
3
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 30-45 seconds until fragrant.
4
Pour in lemon juice and add capers to the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to blend flavors.
5
Return the mahi-mahi to the pan, spoon the lemon-butter sauce over the fillets, and cook for another 1-2 minutes to rewarm the fish and finish cooking.
6
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Remove from heat.
7
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side and spooned lemon-caper butter sauce over each fillet.
