Ingredients
- 1 pound Fresh lobster meat, cooked and chilled
- 1 stalk Celery, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 Whole wheat hot dog buns or split-top rolls
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Romaine lettuce leaves
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the lobster meat. If using whole lobsters, steam or boil them until cooked through, then remove the meat from the shells. Chop the meat into bite-sized pieces and chill until ready to use.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the lobster meat, finely chopped celery, lemon juice, low-sodium mayonnaise, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, then cover and refrigerate while preparing the rolls.
Step 3
Spread unsalted butter on the outer sides of the whole wheat buns. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Toast the buns in the skillet until golden brown and crisp on the outside, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 4
Line each toasted bun with a romaine lettuce leaf to add a crunchy, refreshing layer that shields the bread from becoming soggy.
Step 5
Evenly divide the lobster mixture among the prepared buns, spooning it in generously.
Step 6
Sprinkle the top of each lobster roll with chopped chives for a fresh finish.
Step 7
Serve immediately, ideally alongside a simple side salad or fresh cucumber slices to complement the rich lobster flavor.
