Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mahi Mahi fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Capers (drained)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Season Mahi Mahi fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add Mahi Mahi fillets and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add unsalted butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Step 5
Stir in the heavy cream, capers, and lemon juice. Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
Step 6
Return the Mahi Mahi fillets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Let them cook together for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
Step 7
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve the Mahi Mahi with the caper garlic cream sauce spooned generously on top.
