Lobster Filling

Bread and Garnish

Method

Prepare Lobster Filling

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, finely chopped celery, green onion, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and fresh dill. Mix gently until all ingredients are well combined.

  2. 2

    Chill the Filling

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the lobster mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Prepare the Rolls

  1. 3

    Toast the Buns

    While the lobster filling is chilling, melt the softened butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the New England-style hot dog buns, cut side down, and toast them until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Rolls

    Once the lobster filling has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator. Place a leaf of leafy lettuce inside each toasted bun, then generously spoon the lobster mixture on top of the lettuce.

  3. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle paprika over the filled lobster rolls for a hint of color and extra flavor. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
