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.
3. 3When the oil is hot, test it with the tip of the fish fillet. If the oil crackles from the touch, your ready!
4. 4If not, it needs to be hotter to get the sear the dish needs.
5. 5Add the mahi-mahi fillets to the hot pan and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the fish flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of 145F.
6. 6When 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.
7. 7Add the butter to the hot pan.
8. 8Melt.
9. 9Saute the shallots until softened in the melted butter.
10. 10Add 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).
11. 11Allow the mixture to simmer and reduce by ⅓ to ½, stirring occasionally. Note: 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.
12. 12Add the rinsed capers.
13. 13Simmer one more minute.
14. 14While you are waiting, plate your fillets.
15. 15Pour the sauce over the top.
