Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh lobster meat (cooked lobster tail or claw meat, chopped into bite-sized pieces)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted and lightly browned)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped celery (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives or parsley
  • 4 split-top rolls (buttered and toasted)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lobster Meat: Ensure your lobster meat is cooked, cooled, and chopped into bite-sized pieces. Fresh lobster is preferred, but pre-cooked, chilled lobster works well too.
  2. Make the Butter Mayo Dressing: Gently melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat in a small saucepan until it turns a light golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. In a bowl, whisk together the browned butter, mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Combine Lobster with Dressing: Fold the lobster pieces gently into the butter mayo mixture. Add the finely chopped celery and herbs, mixing carefully to coat the lobster without breaking the chunks.
  4. Toast the Rolls: Lightly butter the split-top rolls and toast them in a skillet over medium heat until they become golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Spoon a generous amount of the lobster mixture into each toasted roll. Garnish with extra herbs or a squeeze of lemon if desired, and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh lobster meat for the best natural sweetness.
  • Melt butter slowly over low heat to achieve a rich, nutty browned butter flavor without burning.
  • Fold the lobster mixture gently to keep chunks intact and appealing.
  • Toast rolls evenly to prevent sogginess and add a satisfying crunch.
  • Chill the lobster mixture for 15-20 minutes before serving to meld flavors, if time allows.
  • Store leftover lobster mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
