Lobster Rolls
Cool, tender lobster coated in a light lemon mayonnaise dressing is tucked into crisp-edged, buttery toasted buns. Celery adds a pleasant crunch, while chives provide a fresh, mild onion flavor without overpowering the seafood.
Use freshly cooked or thawed lobster meat, and chill it briefly before mixing for the cleanest flavor. Avoid overmixing so the lobster stays in generous pieces; brioche or split-top hot dog buns can replace standard buns if desired.
Serve these seafood sandwiches with potato chips, coleslaw, or a green salad for a relaxed lunch, picnic, or summer gathering. Prepare the lobster mixture up to several hours ahead, but toast and fill the buns just before serving.
