A quick and easy recipe featuring fresh Maine lobster meat mixed with a creamy dressing and served in toasted New England-style buns. Perfect for summer gatherings and a delicious homemade seafood delight.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh Maine lobster meat, cooked and chopped
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise (Hellmann’s recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup finely diced celery
  • 2 tablespoons finely sliced green onions
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for toasting buns
  • 4 New England-style hot dog buns, split top

Instructions

  1. If starting with whole lobsters, boil or steam about 1.5 pounds until shells turn bright red (8-12 minutes). Let cool, pick meat from tails and claws, discard shells, and chop into 1/2-inch chunks. If using pre-cooked lobster meat, chop and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard (if using), salt, and pepper. Whisk gently until smooth but not runny.
  3. Fold in diced celery, sliced green onions, and chopped fresh dill or parsley. Stir to combine evenly.
  4. Gently fold chopped lobster meat into the dressing mixture, keeping chunks intact. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Butter the cut sides of the buns generously and toast butter-side down until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes.
  6. Spoon a generous amount of the creamy lobster mixture into each toasted bun without overfilling.
  7. Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon and optional sides like kettle chips or a fresh green salad.

Notes

Do not overmix the lobster with the dressing to preserve texture. Toast buns with butter until golden for best flavor and crunch. Use fresh lobster meat for optimal taste, but thawed frozen lobster works as well. Assemble just before serving to avoid soggy buns. For a lighter dressing, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or vegan mayo. Variations include low-carb lettuce wraps, spicy sriracha addition, or tropical avocado/mango mix-ins.
