lobster rolls recipe Lemon Butter With Chive Confetti
- Total Time: 18 minutes
- Yield: 4–6 servings 1x
- Diet: General
Description
This healthy, family-friendly lobster rolls recipe features tender, sweet lobster brightened by lemon and chive, served in warm, buttery rolls for a quick weeknight indulgence or special weekend lunch. It offers a gourmet experience at home without hours in the kitchen.
Ingredients
- 1 lb cooked lobster meat, fresh or frozen/thawed
- 4–6 good quality rolls, split-top or brioche
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 large fresh lemon
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
- 2–4 tbsp mayonnaise, optional
- 1 small stalk celery, finely diced, optional
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare The Lobster: Gently chop cooked lobster meat into bite-sized pieces, aiming for consistent texture. Ensure the meat is patted dry thoroughly with paper towels for best results, avoiding a watery filling.
- Mix The Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the prepared lobster meat, fresh lemon zest, tangy lemon juice, vibrant chives, optional mayonnaise, and finely diced celery. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix gently with a spoon just until combined, ensuring the lobster isn’t shredded.
- Melt The Butter: In a small skillet or saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Listen for a gentle sizzle, and watch for it to become fragrant and slightly nutty.
- Toast The Rolls: Brush the insides and outsides of your chosen rolls generously with the melted butter. Place them butter-side down in a 10-inch skillet or on a griddle over medium heat. Toast until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Assemble And Serve: Fill each warm, perfectly toasted roll generously with the delightful lobster mixture. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra chives or a fresh lemon wedge for an appealing finish. Serve immediately for the best experience.
Notes
To save time, use pre-cooked, pre-shelled lobster meat. If lobster meat feels watery after thawing, pat it dry thoroughly before mixing. If rolls are browning too fast during toasting, lower the heat slightly. For a drier filling, add an extra tablespoon of mayonnaise or a tiny splash of lemon juice to bind it.
