Ingredients
  

For the lobster salad
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp fresh herbs (parsley and/or dill), chopped
  • ¼ cup minced celery
  • 1 lb cooked lobster meat, roughly chopped Fresh is preferred, but frozen can be used
  • 2 Tbsp butter, softened
  • 1½ Tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • 4 pieces lettuce leaves
For assembly
  • 4 DLM Golden Classic Hot Dog Buns

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and chopped herbs. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Stir in the minced celery, and then gently fold in the chopped lobster meat. Cover and chill in the fridge.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Butter the sides of the buns and toast them in the pan until golden brown.
Assembly
  1. Fold the chives into the lobster salad.
  2. Inside each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf and divide the lobster salad evenly among the buns.
  3. Sprinkle with more chives and serve immediately.

Notes

These lobster rolls are best enjoyed fresh and warm, served alongside crispy potato chips or coleslaw. For leftovers, store the lobster salad separately to prevent soggy buns.
