1
Season the Fish
Sprinkle the mahi-mahi fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides. Set aside while you prepare the sauce.

2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
3
Cook the Fish
Add the seasoned mahi-mahi fillets to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

4
Sauté the Garlic
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5
Add Lemon Juice and Capers
Pour in the lemon juice and add the drained capers. Stir well to combine and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
6
Finish the Sauce
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.

7
Plate the Dish
Place the cooked mahi-mahi on serving plates and generously spoon the lemon caper sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
