Lobster rolls sound fancy. They’re not hard. They’re just delicious.
Sweet lobster meat. Light lemon dressing. Buttery toasted brioche. 15 minutes. No special skills. No culinary degree. Just hungry.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Make the Lobster Salad
Gently pick through lobster meat to remove any shells (don’t break up the lumps).
In a bowl, mix mayo, lemon juice, chives, salt, and pepper.
Fold in lobster meat gently. Keep those lumps intact. Set aside.
Toast the Buns
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Melt butter.
Place buns cut-side down. Toast 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Assemble the Rolls
Spoon lobster salad generously into each toasted bun.
Don’t be shy. Overflowing is good.
Serve
Squeeze fresh lemon over the top. Serve immediately. Eat with your hands. Lick your fingers.

Storage Notes
Best Fresh:
Assemble right before eating. Soggy buns = sadness.
Leftover Lobster:
Store cooked lobster in fridge for 1 day max. Seafood doesn’t wait.
Pro Tip:
- Costco sells pre-cooked frozen lobster meat. Thaw overnight. Works great.
