1. For the Mahi Mahi, mix olive oil with citrus and rub over the fish. Grill until cooked through.

Add beans, tomatoes with juice and broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook until carrots are tender (about 15 minutes). Transfer half to the blender and puree until smooth. Return puree to the pot. Simmer until slightly thickened and adjust seasonings to taste.
3.- For the Avocado Relish, in a small bowl mix all the ingredients; adjust seasonings to taste.
4.- To plate, spoon black bean puree on a plate, followed by the cooked Mahi Mahi and with avocado relish.
