Lobster Roll
Description
This lobster roll uses bite-sized pieces of cooked lobster meat gently combined with mayonnaise and lemon juice to create a creamy, tangy filling. Chopped celery adds texture and a mild vegetal note, while thinly sliced chives contribute a subtle onion-like flavor. The mixture is seasoned with salt and pepper to taste.
The buns are buttered on the outer sides and toasted on a griddle or pan until golden and slightly crisp, providing a contrast to the soft filling. The assembled sandwich is served immediately to maintain the freshness and balance between the buttery toasted bun and the cool, creamy lobster salad.
A traditional touch is using split-top buns which hold the filling securely and toast evenly. The recipe notes suggest the lobster salad can be prepared ahead and stored refrigerated for up to 8 hours, allowing flavors to meld. Substitutions for the buns are possible if split-top rolls are unavailable.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds lobster meat approximately 3 1/2 cups, cut into 3/4 inch pieces, cooked
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup celery finely chopped, use the tender inner stalks
- 1 tablespoon chives thinly sliced, plus more for garnish if desired
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 4 hot dog buns split top
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
Instructions
- Place the lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, chives, salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir gently to combine.
- Spread the butter onto the outer sides of each bun. Place the buns in a pan or on a griddle over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
- Divide the lobster mixture among the buns. Serve immediately, garnished with additional chives if desired.
Notes
- Prepare lobster salad up to 8 hours ahead; keep refrigerated to allow flavors to develop.
- Use split-top hot dog buns for the most authentic presentation, but regular hot dog buns or French rolls are acceptable substitutes.
