\n\n\n\n

🦞 Ingredients<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the Lobster Salad<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 1 lb (450g) cooked lobster meat, chopped into bite-size chunks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bc cup mayonnaise (add more if you prefer creamier)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 celery rib, very finely diced<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 2 tbsp green onions or chives, finely sliced<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or dill, chopped<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Salt and black pepper to taste<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Optional: pinch of Old Bay seasoning or paprika<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    For the Rolls<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • 4 New England\u2013style split-top hot dog buns<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 2 tbsp butter (to toast the buns)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Optional: lettuce leaves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      👩‍🍳 Instructions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Prepare the Lobster Meat:<\/strong>
        If you are using whole lobsters, remove the tail, claw, and knuckle meat, then chop into medium-sized chunks. Keep the pieces large so every bite is meaty and satisfying.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Mix the Dressing:<\/strong>
        In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and optional Old Bay. The dressing should be light and tangy, not too thick.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Add the Veggies:<\/strong>
        Stir in the diced celery, green onions or chives, and parsley. These fresh ingredients add crunch and brightness that balance the rich lobster.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Fold in the Lobster:<\/strong>
        Add the lobster chunks to the bowl and gently fold everything together. Avoid overmixing to keep the lobster pieces intact. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or lemon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Chill the Mixture:<\/strong>
        Refrigerate for\u00a015\u201330 minutes<\/strong>. This helps the flavors blend and makes the salad firm enough for the buns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. Toast the Buns:<\/strong>
        Heat a pan over medium heat. Spread a little butter on the sides of each bun and toast until lightly golden and crisp. This adds amazing flavor and keeps the bun from getting soggy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      7. Assemble the Rolls:<\/strong>
        Add a layer of lettuce if you like, then generously fill each bun with the chilled lobster mixture. Let it mound high, just like in the picture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      8. Serve Immediately:<\/strong>
        Enjoy your lobster rolls with lemon wedges, chips, coleslaw, or fries.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        🌟 Tips for the Best Lobster Rolls<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Use fresh lemon\u2014bottled juice changes the flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • A little celery adds crunch but don\u2019t add too much or it overwhelms the lobster.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Keep the mixture slightly chilled; it tastes fresher.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Don\u2019t overload with mayo\u2014the lobster should be the star.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
