Cooking instruction summary:
1. Sprinkle the mahi mahi fillets lightly with salt.2. Combine the onion, olive oil, and 1/4 cup water in a skillet large enough to hold the mahi mahi in a single layer. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer briskly but not furiously until the onion is tender. Add the tomatoes, olives (if using), parsley, capers, red pepper flakes to taste, and another 1/4 cup water.3. Once the cooking liquid returns to a simmer, lay the mahi mahi fillets on top, skin side down. Cover and simmer until the fish is cooked through, about 10 minutes. At this point, the tomatoes will have released their juices and there should be a small ladleful of brothy sauce for each serving; if not, remove the mahi mahi to a platter, add a little more water and heat briefly. Taste and stir in a bit more salt and pepper flakes if needed.4. Ladle the sauce into shallow soup bowls; place a mahi mahi fillet in each one.
