Heat 1-2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season Mahi Mahi with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Cook Mahi Mahi in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through and flesh flakes easily. Transfer to a serving platter.
Add onion, garlic, roasted peppers to the skillet, and cook for a couple of minutes until onion is translucent about 3-4 minutes. Add vegetable stock, juice of a half lime, and butter. Cook the sauce for another 5 minutes until it thickens a little bit while stirring occasionally. Season with cumin, and salt and pepper to taste.
Return the fish to the pan and cover with sauce.
Serve warm, spoon roasted pepper butter sauce over the fish, and garnish with pine nuts and parsley.
NOTES
Use a nonstick or cast iron skillet to cook the Mahi Mahi on the cooktop so that the fish doesn't stick to the pan.
Use a hot pan and pat dry the fish with a paper towel before you season it with salt & black pepper.
Take care not to overcook the Mahi Mahi. It only needs 3 to 4 minutes on each side. If you have an instant-read thermometer it should register at 145ºF.
Use fresh lime juice in this recipe. The bottled stuff doesn't have the same zing.
You can cook the Mahi Mahi with or without the skin.
