Ingredients

  • 1 lb cooked lobster meat
  • 4 New England-style split-top hot dog buns
  • 2 Tbsp salted butter
  • 2 tsp mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 4 pinches Luke's Seasoning or salt and pepper

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from the heat and brush half a teaspoon of melted butter onto the outer sides of your buns, saving the rest of the butter for later.
  • Heat a small pan over medium-low heat for 1 minute, then toast the buns in the pan until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the buns from the pan and place on a plate.
  • Spread 1/2 teaspoon of the mayonnaise on the inside of each bun.
  • Fill each bun with a quarter pound of the chunks of lobster meat.
  • Reheat the remaining melted butter, if necessary, and add the lemon juice. Drizzle the warm lemon butter evenly over the lobster in each roll.
  • Evenly sprinkle one pinch of Luke's Seasoning on top of sandwich. Serve immediately with a pickle or side of potato chips and enjoy this authentic Maine lobster roll recipe
