Units
Scale
- 1 lb cooked lobster meat, chopped (claw and tail meat preferred)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp Old Bay seasoning (optional)
- 4 split-top hot dog buns
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for toasting buns)
- Lettuce leaves (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix lobster meat with mayonnaise, lemon juice, melted butter, chives, salt, black pepper, and Old Bay seasoning (if using). Chill for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt butter. Toast the buns on both sides until golden brown.

Notes
- Prefer a Connecticut-style lobster roll? Skip the mayo and toss the lobster in warm melted butter instead.
- For extra flavor, lightly brush the buns with garlic butter before toasting.
- Use fresh lobster for the best taste, but high-quality frozen lobster meat works too!
