Preparation

  1. Preheat oven broiler to high.
  2. Place the mahi-mahi fillets in an ovenproof flat dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and the thyme and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Set aside and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand in a cool place for 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and the capers. Cook until wilted. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and the garlic. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the vinegar, cook briefly and blend well. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
  4. Place the mahi-mahi fillets under the broiler about 4 inches from the source of heat. Cook about 3 minutes. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for 3 minutes more or until the fish is cooked through. Do not overcook.
  5. Transfer the fish to a warm serving plate and spoon equal portions of the tomato sauce over them. Sprinkle with basil and serve immediately.
