Lobster Roll – Lobster meat in a toasted bun.
The Lobster Roll is a quintessential New England sandwich featuring succulent lobster meat lightly dressed with mayonnaise or butter and served in a toasted, buttered hot dog bun. The dish is typically accompanied by a side of chips or coleslaw and often garnished with a sprinkle of chives or parsley. The key to an excellent lobster roll lies in the freshness of the lobster meat and the perfect balance of flavors between the creamy dressing and the sweetness of the lobster.

Ingredients:
- Lobster meat, defrosted and cleaned
- Brioche buns
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2-3 tbsp mayonnaise
- Juice of half a lime
- 1 tsp smoked paprika, plus extra for garnish
- Mixed dried herbs
- Chili flakes
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Chives, chopped for garnish
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 23 minutes
Servings: 4
Equipment: Pan, kitchen shears or knife, mixing bowl
Instructions:
1. Rinse the defrosted lobster meat thoroughly and use kitchen shears or a knife to roughly chop it into bite-size pieces.
2. In a mixing bowl, lightly season the lobster meat with a pinch of mixed dried herbs, chili flakes, smoked paprika, and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
3. Heat a pan over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt completely.
4. Place the seasoned lobster meat into the pan and cook for about 3-5 minutes until it's just heated through and takes on a nice golden color. Be careful not to overcook; lobster meat can become tough if cooked for too long.
5. Add any additional cooked lobster you might have to the pan just to warm it, tossing everything together for about a minute.
6. Remove the lobster from the pan, and in the same pan, toast the brioche buns cut-side down until they are lightly golden and crisp, approximately 1 minute.
7. In a bowl, mix the warm cooked lobster with mayonnaise, a squeeze of lime juice, a sprinkle of smoked paprika, and a small amount of chopped chives. Stir to combine.
8. Spoon a generous amount of the lobster filling into each toasted brioche bun.
9. Garnish each lobster roll with a sprinkle of smoked paprika and a scattering of fresh chives for a beautiful presentation.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich and comforting flavors of your homemade lobster rolls.
Cooking Tips:
- Toasting the buns in the lobster-infused butter adds an extra layer of flavor.
- Adjust the chili flakes to suit your preferred level of heat.
