Preheat the oven to 425°F and adjust a rack to the center.
Make the sauce. In a small bowl, combine the capers, shallots, garlic, lemon zest lemon juice and olive oil.
Assemble. Add a couple of tablespoons of the sauce to the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch or slightly smaller, baking dish. Season both sides of the Mahi Mahi fillets with salt and pepper. Then add them to the pan, being sure a bit of the sauce is beneath each one. Place 2 to 3 tomato slices on top of each fillet. Then evenly distribute the remaining sauce on top of the tomatoes.
Bake and Serve. Place the pan in the preheated 425°F oven and bake just until the fish is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Let it cool for just a couple of minutes, spoon some of the sauce over each fillet and then serve.
