3 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
½ cup Chopped flat leaf parsley
Juice of 1 Lemon plus 2 tsp grated peel
Juice of 1 Lime plus 2 tsp grated peel
Segments of one orange chopped plus 2 tsp grated peel
1 Tbsp Hot pepper sauce
1 Tbsp Chopped fresh thyme
Salt and pepper
Four 6-8 ounce pieces mahi mahi

In a shallow dish, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, parsley, lemon juice and peel, lime juice and peel, orange peel, hot sauce and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Add the fish and let marinate for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the grill or grill pan to medium. In a medium saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and scallions, season with salt and pepper and cook until softened (3-4 minutes). Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil over high heat.
