Serves: 4 | Prep Time: 15 min | Cook Time: 5 min | Total Time: 20 min
Ingredients
• 1 pound cooked lobster meat, picked over and chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
• 4 split-top hot dog buns
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
1. Prepare the lobster salad
In a medium bowl, combine the lobster meat, mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until everything is combined.
2. Add the celery
Fold in the finely chopped celery, making sure the ingredients are evenly distributed while keeping the lobster pieces intact.
3. Toast the buns
Brush the outside of each split-top bun with melted butter. Toast on a griddle, skillet, or grill until golden brown and lightly crisp.
4. Assemble the lobster rolls
Fill each toasted bun generously with the lobster salad mixture.
5. Serve
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as French fries, a fresh side salad, or roasted vegetables.
Tips & Notes
• Use fresh, high-quality lobster meat for the best flavor
• Keep the mayo or Greek yogurt light — just enough to coat the lobster
• Gently mix the lobster salad to avoid breaking apart the meat
• For a lighter option, Greek yogurt can replace mayonnaise
• Lobster rolls can be served chilled or slightly warmed depending on preference
