This recipe focuses on the pure flavor of fresh lobster, served warm with melted butter and a squeeze of lemon on a toasted split-top bun. This is the purist’s choice for a classic lobster roll.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh lobster meat, knuckle and claw preferred
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • 4 split-top hot dog buns
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Gently warm the lobster meat in a separate bowl over a double boiler or in a microwave on low power until just heated through. Do not overcook.
  2. Brush the cut sides of the split-top buns generously with the melted unsalted butter.
  3. Place the buttered buns cut-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast until golden brown and crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Place the warm lobster meat into the toasted buns.
  5. Drizzle the lobster meat with any remaining melted butter.
  6. Serve immediately with a lemon wedge for squeezing over the top.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality lobster meat.
  • If you prefer a cold roll, chill the meat after cooking and toss it lightly with mayonnaise before adding it to the bun.
  • Use a high-quality, soft white bread for the split-top bun for an authentic experience.
