Steps

Prepare Lobster

Cut the cooked lobster meat into larger, bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine the lobster meat with mayonnaise, finely diced celery, fresh lemon juice, and chopped chives. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Set aside and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to meld.

Toast Buns

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Brush the sides of the hot dog buns with the remaining melted butter, then place them in the skillet. Toast the sides of the buns until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat the process with the remaining buns.

Serve

Carefully open the toasted buns and generously fill them with the chilled lobster salad. Serve immediately, perhaps garnished with a little fresh chives or a lemon slice.

Extra Tips

► For the best flavor, use freshly cooked lobster, but frozen, pre-cooked lobster meat also works perfectly.

► Don't skimp on the butter when toasting the buns; this gives the roll its characteristic flavor and crispiness.

► Before serving, let the lobster salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to meld.
