Instructions
-
Prepare the Lobster Meat:
- If using whole lobster, cook it according to your preferred method, remove the meat, and chop into bite-sized pieces.
- If using pre-cooked lobster, simply chop it into chunks.
-
Make the Lobster Salad:
- In a medium bowl, mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a creamy dressing.
- Gently fold in the lobster meat, diced celery, and chopped chives.
- Toss to combine and taste to adjust seasoning.
-
Toast the Rolls:
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
- Lightly toast the split-top rolls until golden and crispy on the outside, about 1–2 minutes per side.
-
Assemble and Serve:
- Spoon the lobster mixture generously into each toasted roll.
- Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon on top.
Notes
- Use Fresh Lobster – Freshly cooked lobster meat provides the best flavor.
- For a Lighter Version – Swap mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or a mix of both.
- Make It More Decadent – Add a drizzle of melted butter over the lobster meat before serving.
