Ingredients

Scale

For the Lobster Salad

  • 1 lb fresh lobster meat (preferably claw and knuckle), cooked and chopped into bite-sized chunks
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise (good quality)
  • 2 tbsp finely diced celery
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives or green onions
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the Buns

  • 4 split-top hot dog buns
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted (for toasting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lobster Meat: If using raw lobster tails or claws, boil them in salted water for 8-10 minutes until the meat is opaque. Let cool, then carefully extract the meat and cut into bite-sized pieces for easy eating.
  2. Make the Lobster Salad: In a mixing bowl, gently combine the lobster meat, mayonnaise, finely diced celery, fresh lemon juice, chopped chives, salt, and pepper. Fold the ingredients carefully to coat the lobster evenly without breaking up the chunks.
  3. Toast the Buns: Brush the split-top hot dog buns with melted butter on both sides. Toast them in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and crispy, adding a buttery flavor and texture contrast.
  4. Assemble the Lobster Rolls: Fill each warm toasted bun generously with the lobster salad, making sure they are bursting with fresh lobster and creamy dressing. Serve immediately for the best experience of warm buns and cool lobster salad.

Notes

  • Choose fresh lobster meat for the best texture and flavor, whether cooked at home or purchased.
  • Gently fold the lobster salad to keep chunks intact and avoid mushy texture.
  • Don’t skip toasting the buns as it adds essential flavor and crunch.
  • For enhanced flavor melding, refrigerate the lobster salad for 30 minutes before assembling.
  • Serve the rolls immediately to enjoy the warm and cold texture contrast.
