A quick and easy lobster roll recipe featuring tender lobster meat lightly dressed and served in a buttery toasted New England-style bun. Perfect for summer gatherings and casual meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) cooked lobster tail and claw meat, chopped into bite-sized pieces (fresh or thawed from frozen)
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (preferably Hellmann’s)
  • 1 stalk celery, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 New England-style split-top hot dog buns or brioche buns
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Prepare the lobster meat by removing it from the shell and chopping into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, and diced celery. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Add chopped lobster meat and fold carefully to coat without breaking the chunks. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Fold in chopped chives or parsley if using. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  4. Spread softened unsalted butter evenly on the outer sides of each bun.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the buns butter-side down. Toast until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
  6. Gently spoon the lobster salad into the toasted buns, filling generously but without overstuffing.
  7. Serve immediately while buns are warm and lobster salad is cool.

Notes

Do not overmix the lobster salad to keep lobster chunks intact. Use New England-style split-top buns for best results. Toast buns just before assembling to keep them crispy. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for brightness. For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for mayo. For gluten-free, use almond flour buns or lettuce wraps.
