  • 1 carrot julienne cut
  • 1 tbsp. sugar
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1.5 tsp. vegetable oil
  • 2.5 cup cabbage
  • 3 tbsp. rice vinegar

1 Food Prep

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.

Finally, combine all of the coleslaw ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Refrigerate until needed.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Totally fell apart I put 4 on the grill and when I went to flip them the disintegrated. I finished the rest in an electric skillet. They were thoroughly chilled and yet one fell apart before I could cook it. Taste was great but a lot of effort
