Some people like only mayonnaise or melted butter on their lobster rolls, but we love the added flavor that fresh herbs provide.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds cooked, shelled lobster meat (about four 1 ½-pound lobsters), chopped into ½-inch pieces

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • ½ teaspoon finely chopped fresh chives (optional)

  • ½ teaspoon finely chopped fresh tarragon or chervil (optional)

  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (or to taste)

  • Coarse or sea salt

  • Freshly ground pepper

  • 8 top-split hot-dog buns

  • 1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, for rolls

Directions

  1. Stir together lobster and mayonnaise. Stir in chives and tarragon (if desired), and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, covered, while preparing rolls, or up to 2 hours.

  2. Heat a large heavy skillet or griddle over medium heat until hot. Lightly brush outside of buns with butter; transfer to skillet. Cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side.

  3. Spoon about 1/2 cup lobster mixture into each bun. Serve immediately.
