Ingredients

1 pound (454 grams) cooked lobster meat

2 tablespoons (28 grams) mayonnaise

1 tablespoon (15 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon capers (optional)

1 tablespoon minced fresh chives

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

4 top-split buns

2 tablespoons (28 grams) good salted butter

Directions

Cut or tear the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces and place in a medium mixing bowl.

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, capers (if using), chives, salt, and pepper.

Pour the dressing over the lobster and toss gently to coat all the meat.

Spread the butter over the sides of the rolls.

Warm a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Set the buns down on the skillet on one of their sides. Cook for a minute or two until golden brown, then flip and cook the opposite side.

Divide the lobster meat among the buns and serve immediately.
