In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, diced celery, chopped chives, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the dressing.
Gently fold the crab meat into the dressing, being careful not to break apart the lumps. Ensure the crab is evenly coated with the dressing. Set aside.
Butter the outer sides of the split-top rolls generously using the softened unsalted butter.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the buttered rolls onto the skillet and toast them until golden brown on the outside, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Remove the toasted rolls from the skillet and let them cool slightly.
Stuff each toasted roll generously with the prepared crab filling.
Serve immediately, optionally garnished with additional chives or a lemon wedge on the side for extra freshness.
