Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the mahi-mahi fillets dry using paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sear the fillets for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip the fillets, cook for an additional 2 minutes, then transfer them to a plate. Wipe out the skillet.
In the cleaned skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced shallot and cook for 2 minutes, until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually pour in the heavy cream and cook until slightly thickened, another 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in 0.5 cup of Parmesan, lemon zest, and half of the lemon juice, mixing until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, 0.25 cup of Parmesan, chopped parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix well to create a breadcrumb topping.
Lightly spray a baking dish with cooking spray. Place the seared mahi-mahi fillets in the dish and spoon the spinach mixture evenly over each fillet.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb topping over the spinach-coated fish, pressing gently to adhere.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Turn the oven to broil and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to lightly brown the topping (watch closely to prevent burning).
Drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the fillets before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of side, such as garlic mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
