Lobster Rolls with Lemon Vinaigrette and Garlic Butter

This sophisticated take on the classic seafood sandwich brings together succulent lobster meat and a bright, zesty lemon vinaigrette. Unlike heavier mayonnaise-based versions, these lobster rolls are dressed in a lighter herb-flecked dressing that allows the delicate flavour of the shellfish to shine. The addition of crunchy celery and spring onions provides a satisfying contrast to the tender lobster, while the toasted buns add a rich, buttery finish.

As a high-protein dish, this recipe is perfect for an elegant weekend lunch or a refreshing summer dinner. The garlic-infused butter used to toast the buns provides a savoury depth that complements the citrus notes perfectly. Serve these rolls immediately while the buns are still warm and crisp, accompanied by extra lemon wedges for a truly fresh and homemade coastal dining experience.

Ingredients for Lobster Rolls with Lemon Vinaigrette and Garlic Butter

  • 4 (1 1/4-to 675g) live lobsters

  • 45ml fresh lemon juice

  • 80ml extra-virgin olive oil

  • 80ml thinly sliced spring onions

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped peeled celery

  • 1/4 cup celery leaves

  • 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter

  • 3 garlic cloves, smashed

  • 6 hot dog buns, preferably top-split

  • Accompaniment: lemon wedges

Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium heat; see Grilling Procedure .

Plunge 2 lobsters headfirst into a large pot of salted boiling water and cook, partially covered, over medium-high heat 8 minutes (for 575g lobsters) to 9 minutes (for 675g lobsters) from time they enter water. Transfer with tongs to an ice bath and let stand until completely cooled. Return water to a boil and cook and cool remaining 2 lobsters. Remove meat from claws, joints, and tails. Coarsely chop meat.

Whisk together lemon juice, oil, and 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Whisk in spring onions, celery, celery leaves, and parsley, then add lobster and gently toss. Season with salt.

Melt butter with garlic in a small saucepan over low heat, mashing garlic with a spoon.

Brush inside of buns with garlic butter. Grill, buttered side down, until golden, about 1 minute.

Fill buns with lobster.
