Steps:
- Mix together all of the Spice Rub ingredients in a medium bowl. Pat mahi mahi dry and rub spices into the fish.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat in a large heavy bottom skillet. Once hot, add fillets, turn heat down to medium and cook approximately 4 minutes, flip fillets over, then cook an addition 2-4 minutes to your liking (it will depend on thickness,; mahi-mahi should reach an internal temperature of 137°F). If fish is browning too quickly, then turn down the heat. Remove mahi mahi to a plate and tent with foil.
- If needed, drain oil from skillet so you are left with about 1 tablespoon oil. Add shallot and sauté while scraping up the drippings for 2 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds.
- Whisk chicken broth with cornstarch and add to skillet along with heavy cream, lemon juice, thyme and parsley. Simmer until reduced by half and slightly thickened, about 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste (I use about 1/4 teaspoon each) and add additional lemon juice if desired.
- Nestle mahi mahi fillets back into the skillet and spoon sauce over the fillets. Garnish with fresh chives and/or parsley (optional). Serve immediately with rice, mashed potatoes or pasta.

Steps:
- Season the mahi mahi. Gently pat each mahi-mahi fillet dry with paper towels and generously season both sides of each fillet with salt and lemon pepper. Set aside.
- Prepare the ingredients for the Lemon garlic sauce. Thinly slice one lemon and juice the other lemon into a small bowl so that you have approximately 4 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Mince the garlic and set it aside so that it is already ready for when it's time to cook the butter sauce.
- Pan sear the mahi mahi. Add the olive oil to a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Once the olive oil is nice and hot, carefully add each fillet. Sear, undisturbed, until nicely golden brown on the bottom, and the sides are cooked just past halfway up the fillets, about 4 minutes depending on the thickness of your fish (the fish is cooked when it's no long opaque-looking). Flip and continue to cook on the other side until just cooked through, about 2-4 minutes more (mahi-mahi should reach an internal temperature of 137°F). Remove from heat and transfer fillets to a serving plate.
- Prepare the garlic butter sauce. In the same skillet (or in a new one), heat the butter, lemon juice, and lemon slices over medium heat. Heat until the butter is melted and just starting to bubble. Stir in the garlic, reduce heat to low, and continue to cook for 1 minute, or until the garlic is lightly golden. Stir in the fresh minced parsley and drained capers (optional).
- Combine and serve. Spoon the garlic butter sauce over the mahi-mahi and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Use paper towels to gently dry the mahi mahi fillets. The drier the filets are, the better seasoned they will be, so be thorough. Use a light hand to avoid damaging the flesh at all.
- Cut the lemon in half and save one half for later. With the remaining half, squeeze lemon juice over each fillet of fish.
- Next, sprinkle the fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. While you can add other dried seasonings at this point if you like, a simple preparation of salt, pepper and lemon makes an elegant dish that lets the delicate flavor of mahi mahi speak for itself on the plate.
- Now that your fish is properly seasoned, it's time to start cooking. Use a large skillet to pan-sear the mahi mahi. Heat the pan over medium-high heat. Wait for a bit until the pan is hot before drizzling in the olive oil. Swirl the oil around the pan so you have an even, thin coating of oil for searing. When the oil is hot but not yet smoking, move onto the next step.
- Carefully Place the mahi mahi fillets into the hot pan. cook until each piece is brown on the bottom, then use a thin fish spatula to carefully flip the fillets and brown the other side. The first side should take 3-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish. The second side will need a bit less time, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Just before your fish is fully cooked, remove it from the hot skillet and plate it up. The fillets will continue cooking for a few minutes after you remove them from the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Then squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon half into the pan. Add the minced garlic and ¼ teaspoon of salt as well.
- Finally, add the butter. Stir the sauce and cook until the butter is fully melted and well combined with the lemon juice. Taste your sauce and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Plate the fillets and spoon the lemon garlic sauce on top.
