1. 1Prepare the fish by sprinkling each side with salt and pepper (or lemon pepper).
2. 2Pour the olive oil into a stainless steel pan on medium high heat. When the oil is hot, test it with the tip of the fish fillet. If the oil crackles from the touch, your ready! If not, it needs to be hotter to get the sear the dish needs.
3. 3When the Mahi-Mahi is cooked (usually 3-4 minutes per side depending on the thickness of your fillet), remove and cover loosely to keep warm.
4. 4Add the butter to the hot pan and melt.
5. 5Saute the shallots until softened in the melted butter.
6. 6Add wine, broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the pan and use a spatula to scrape up all the browned bits (aka deglaze the pan).
7. 7Allow the mixture to simmer and reduce by 1/3 to 1/2, stirring occasionally.
8. 8Note: you can adjust the wine/broth ratio according to your tastes and how much wine you have left in the bottle by the time you get to this step ;)
9. 9Add the rinsed capers and simmer one more minute. While you are waiting, plate your fillets.
10. 10Pour the sauce over the top.
