Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the onions, green pepper and celery and sauté for 5 minutes, until onions are translucent and starting to brown.
Add in the sautéed vegetable seasoning. Cook for an additional 4 minutes until the mixture is browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the diced mahi-mahi, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, scrambled eggs and lemon juice. Add in the sautéed vegetables and mix well. Then, hand-form eight mahi-mahi burger patties and place them on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Next, combine all of the chipotle-lime avocado spread ingredients in a small bowl. Stir vigorously to mash the avocado and combine the mixture. Refrigerate until needed.

Place the mahi-mahi burgers over direct heat and cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until well browned and reaching an internal temperature of 145ºF.
Lightly toast your rolls, then dress each kaiser roll with chipotle-lime avocado spread and coleslaw, then add on a mahi-mahi patty and enjoy!
