Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Season Mahi Mahi fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper.
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.
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.
Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream, capers, and lemon juice. Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
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.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve the Mahi Mahi with the caper garlic cream sauce spooned generously on top.
