Ingredients
1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter
2 green onions, trimmed
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice plus lemon wedges, for serving
1 1/2 pounds cooked lobster meat (from three 2-pound lobsters), coarsely chopped
1/3 cup minced celery
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Butter lettuce leaves, for sandwiches
8 mini brioche rolls, buttered and toasted
Directions
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Remove the milk solids that float to the top, leaving the clear melted butter on the bottom in the saucepan. Set aside.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the whole green onions and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly charred, about 2 minutes. Remove the green onions from the skillet and chop. Combine the green onions, mayonnaise and lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the melted butter to the skillet. Add the lobster and cook until warmed through. Transfer the lobster to a medium bowl. Add the celery and mayonnaise to the lobster and toss until combined. Add the remaining butter to the lobster and toss. Season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, divide the lobster mixture and lettuce evenly among the rolls. Serve with lemon wedges.
