Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1 lb chopped cooked lobster meat with 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1 tsp lemon zest, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 small finely diced celery stalk, 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix gently until evenly coated.
Step 2: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spread 2 tbsp unsalted butter evenly on the cut sides of 4 hot dog buns. Place the buns butter-side down in the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
Step 3: Remove buns from the skillet and, if using, line each bun with a crisp lettuce leaf.
Step 4: Spoon the lobster mixture evenly into each toasted bun and serve immediately for a fresh, summery sandwich experience.
