Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Cooked lobster meat (claw, knuckle, or tail)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Celery (finely diced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (finely chopped, plus extra for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Split-top hot dog buns
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 4 Lettuce leaves (optional, for lining rolls)
Instructions
Chop the cooked lobster meat into bite-sized pieces and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, diced celery, chives, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Pour the dressing over the lobster meat and gently fold until the mixture is evenly coated. Refrigerate for about 10–15 minutes to chill and allow flavors to meld.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush the outside of each split-top hot dog bun with the melted butter.
Toast the buns in the skillet for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Remove from heat.
If desired, line the bottoms of the toasted buns with lettuce leaves for added crunch.
Generously fill each bun with the chilled lobster mixture, mounding the meat on top for an enticing presentation.
Garnish with extra chopped chives, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade New England Lobster Rolls!
