Mahi Mahi with Artichokes and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
  1. 1

    Make sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup butter. Cook and stir the shallot and the garlic in the butter until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Pour the lemon juice and the white wine into the skillet; season with kosher salt and black pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces enough to coat the back of a spoon, 20 to 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir the tomatoes and the artichoke hearts into the reduced sauce; cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes more.

  4. 4

    Remove the skillet from the heat, add the cold butter pieces, and swirl the skillet off the heat until the butter melts and emulsifies into the sauce. Cover and keep warm.

  5. 5

    Make fish: Mix the flour and the seasoned salt in a wide, shallow bowl. Dredge the mahi-mahi fillets in the flour mixture to coat.

  6. 6

    Heat the olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Fry the mahi-mahi in the hot oil until the fish flakes easily with a fork in the center, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

  7. 7

    Transfer the mahi-mahi to a platter; top with the sauce.
