Lobster Filling

Hot Lemon Butter (optional)

Method

Lobster Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked lobster meat, chopped celery, mayonnaise, tarragon, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

Hot Lemon Butter Preparation (optional)

  1. 2

    Make Hot Lemon Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley, and remove from heat. Keep warm while assembling the rolls.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Toast the Buns

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the hot dog buns and toast until golden brown on both sides. Remove from skillet.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Lobster Rolls

    Place a lettuce leaf (if using) inside each toasted bun. Generously fill each bun with the lobster mixture. If desired, drizzle with hot lemon butter or serve with cold tarragon aioli on the side.
