Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz fresh cooked lobster meat, peeled and chopped into bite-sized chunks
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 soft split-top buns
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives or dill, finely chopped

Optional Variations

  • Dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper (for spicy twist)
  • Fresh tarragon, parsley, or basil (as herb boost)
  • 1/4 cup diced avocado (for added creaminess)
  • Greek yogurt as substitute for mayonnaise (for low-fat version)
  • Zest of lemon or lime (for citrus zing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the lobster meat: Start with cooked lobster meat, chopped into bite-sized chunks. Be gentle to keep the lobster tender, not mushy.
  2. Make the butter mayo mixture: Melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. In a bowl, combine the butter with mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper, whisking until smooth and creamy.
  3. Toss lobster with butter mayo: Add the lobster chunks to the butter mayo mixture, folding gently to coat every piece with that luscious blend without breaking up the meat.
  4. Toast the buns: Lightly butter the split-top buns and toast them on a skillet over medium heat until golden and crispy, which adds a delicious crunch and extra flavor.
  5. Assemble the rolls: Fill each bun generously with the lobster mixture, sprinkle fresh chopped herbs on top, and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Choose quality lobster: Fresh or freshly cooked lobster meat makes a world of difference in taste and texture.
  • Don’t overmix: Gently fold the lobster into the butter mayo to keep the chunks intact and appealing.
  • Butter the buns well: Don’t skimp on butter when toasting buns for that golden, flavorful crust.
  • Chill the lobster: Keep lobster meat chilled before mixing to help maintain freshness and prevent the mayo from becoming too runny.
  • Use split-top buns: Their shape holds the filling better and offers an authentic lobster roll experience.
