2. On medium-high heat, add butter and heat it a little. Once that is done, add the minced shallot or minced onion (depending on your choice), and garlic. Cook everything together until the shallot and garlic become tender. Once they become tender, add wine, lemon zest, and juice.
3. Heat and simmer the sauce for about 2-5 minutes or until the sauce reduce to your desired concentration and texture. Now, add your mint, salt, capers, and pepper to taste. Do you remember we told you red chili flakes are optional? If you want to make use of them, add it at this point. While the sauce is simmering, prepare your fish.
