Warm and Buttery Lobster Rolls
Description
This recipe prepares lobster meat in butter and garlic until the lobster is cooked through but still meaty. The cooked lobster is combined with melted butter, chopped fresh chives and dill, and lemon juice to enhance the natural sweetness with fresh herbal and citrus flavors. The use of brioche buns toasted with butter adds a tender, slightly sweet, and rich bread that holds the lobster mixture without overpowering it. The warm temperature and buttery profile create a comforting texture and flavor pairing.
Serving the lobster salad in split-top brioche buns presents a classic take on lobster rolls, often enjoyed as a seafood lunch or casual dinner. The recipe suggests serving with lemon wedges for added brightness and potato chips to add crunch and balance the richness.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lobster meat claws, tails, whichever you prefer or both, uncooked
- ½ cup butter unsalted
- 1 garlic minced, clove
- ¼ cup chives chopped fresh
- 3 tablespoons dill chopped, fresh
- ½ lemon juiced
- lemon for spritzing, wedges
- salt kosher salt
- black pepper kosher salt
- 4 to 6 brioche bun warmed or toasted, split top, hot dog style
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Chop the lobster meat if it's in large pieces - I do like to leave it in large chunks though! Add in the lobster meat along with the minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the lobster is bright pink, opaque and cooked through.
- While the lobster is cooking, melt the remaining butter in a saucepan over low heat. I like to brush the brioche buns with butter and warm them for a few minutes in the oven.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked lobster with a pinch of big salt and pepper, all of the remaining melted butter, the chives and fresh dill. Add in the juice from ½ lemon and toss. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Divide the buttery lobster between 4 or 6 brioche buns. Serve with lemons for spritzing and potato chips!
