Ingredients

1 pound cooked lobster meat, roughly chopped

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 stalk celery, finely diced

1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

Salt and black pepper to taste

4 split-top New England-style hot dog buns

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, diced celery, and chopped chives.

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, then fold gently to combine all ingredients evenly.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the softened butter. Fry the split-top buns in the skillet, cut side down, until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Generously fill each toasted bun with the lobster salad mixture.

Serve the lobster rolls immediately, garnished with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
