- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (finely chopped)
- 1 Avocado (diced)
- 1 rib Celery (finely diced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, lime juice, chopped chives, chili flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the dressing.
Gently fold the cooked lobster meat, diced avocado, and celery into the dressing, being careful not to mash the avocado. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Spread the butter evenly on the outside of the brioche buns.
Toast the buttered buns in the skillet for 1–2 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crisp.

Scoop the lobster mixture generously into each toasted bun. Be sure to evenly distribute the filling.
