Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Fresh lobster meat, cooked and chilled
- 1 stalk Celery, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 Whole wheat hot dog buns or split-top rolls
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Romaine lettuce leaves
Instructions
Begin by preparing the lobster meat. If using whole lobsters, steam or boil them until cooked through, then remove the meat from the shells. Chop the meat into bite-sized pieces and chill until ready to use.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the lobster meat, finely chopped celery, lemon juice, low-sodium mayonnaise, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, then cover and refrigerate while preparing the rolls.
Spread unsalted butter on the outer sides of the whole wheat buns. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Toast the buns in the skillet until golden brown and crisp on the outside, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Line each toasted bun with a romaine lettuce leaf to add a crunchy, refreshing layer that shields the bread from becoming soggy.
Evenly divide the lobster mixture among the prepared buns, spooning it in generously.
Sprinkle the top of each lobster roll with chopped chives for a fresh finish.
Serve immediately, ideally alongside a simple side salad or fresh cucumber slices to complement the rich lobster flavor.
