Method

Cooking Mahi Mahi

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Season the Mahi Mahi fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Fish

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned Mahi Mahi fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

Making the Lemon Butter Caper Sauce

  1. 3

    Melt Butter

    In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Allow it to melt.

  2. 4

    Add Flavor Components

    Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add lemon juice and capers, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  3. 5

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in chopped parsley and remove from heat.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish
