Lobster Filling

Garnish

Method

Prepare the Lobster Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Lobster

    If using live lobsters, steam or boil the lobsters for about 10-12 minutes until they are bright red. Remove them from the water and let them cool. Extract the meat from the claws, tails, and body, and chop it into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Mix the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the lobster meat, mayonnaise, finely chopped celery, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently until everything is well-coated. Adjust seasoning to taste and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Buns

  1. 3

    Toast the Buns

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the New England-style hot dog buns, cut side down, and toast until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Assemble the Lobster Rolls

  1. 4

    Fill the Buns

    Remove the lobster filling from the refrigerator. Spoon a generous amount of the lobster mixture into each toasted bun.

  2. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish each lobster roll with extra chives and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy your delicious lobster rolls!
