Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz fresh lobster meat, cooked and chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Add-ins

  • 2 tbsp celery, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives or parsley, chopped

Buns

  • 4 top-split hot dog buns or brioche rolls, lightly buttered and toasted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lobster Meat: Start with cooked lobster meat, either fresh or fully thawed if frozen. Cut the lobster into bite-sized chunks, removing any shells carefully for tender, juicy bites.
  2. Make the Butter Mayo Mixture: In a small bowl, melt the unsalted butter and allow it to cool slightly to prevent separation. Combine the melted butter with mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Add the Lobster and Extras: Fold the lobster meat gently into the butter mayo mixture, taking care not to break up the chunks. If using, add finely diced celery and chopped fresh herbs, mixing lightly to combine thoroughly.
  4. Prepare the Buns: Lightly butter and toast the top-split hot dog buns or brioche rolls in a pan or toaster oven until golden brown. The slight crispness supports the creamy filling and enhances flavor.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Spoon generous portions of the lobster butter mayo filling into each toasted bun. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh or high-quality cooked lobster meat for superior taste and texture.
  • Melt the butter properly and cool it before mixing to avoid separating the mayo.
  • Fold lobster gently to maintain chunk integrity and a pleasant texture.
  • Butter-toasted buns add a crunchy, buttery flavor complementing the filling.
  • Chill the lobster salad filling for 10-15 minutes before serving to meld flavors without sogginess.
