Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook for about 15 minutes until thickened. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth.
To BBQ the Mahi Mahi: Preheat the BBQ until very hot. Season the Mahi Mahi with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Be sure the grill is brushed clean and wiped over with an oiled cloth.
