Lobster Roll Recipe Directions

For the dressing:

Add the dressing ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl, reserving any excess lemon juice to adjust later on. Taste and add salt or lemon juice to achieve the desired flavor.

For the toasted bun:

Add a generous sprinkling of salt to the split-top buns and toast in clarified butter. Add another sprinkle of salt as the butter heats to ensure maximum flavor. 

For the grand finale:

  1. Place 16oz (1lb) of cooked lobster in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Season with four pinches of kosher salt and add 1/2 cup of lobster dressing.
  3. Toss in diced celery. Mix to coat. Taste.
  4. Discover your desired consistency by gently adding more dressing for a thicker coating or a teaspoon of lemon juice (at a time) to thin the dressing’s consistency.
  5. Add a small pinch of salt after each adjustment.
  6. Add an equal portion of dressed lobster salad to each of the toasted, split-top buns.
  7. Garnish each sandwich with 5 each celery heart leaves and 3 Tarragon leaves, and enjoy!
