Best Lobster Roll Recipe

1. Prepare the Brown Butter Sauce and Lobster: Cook 4 tablespoons of butter on low heat until it turns a rich brown color. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons of dill and stems along with 1 1/2 teaspoons of chives. Add the 2 pounds of lobster meat to the brown butter sauce and gently heat through. Set aside.
2. Make the Homemade Garlic Mayo Aioli (Optional): In a bowl or food processor, combine 1 egg yolk, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 1/2 teaspoons of lemon zest, the juice from half a lemon, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Slowly drizzle in 2/3 cup of oil while whisking vigorously or blending until the mixture is emulsified and thick like mayonnaise.
3. Combine the Lobster Roll Filling: In a separate large bowl, add 3 or more tablespoons of mayonnaise (or your freshly made aioli). Add a pinch of dill, 1/3 cup of chopped celery, a pinch of chives, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Gently fold in the prepared lobster meat from the brown butter sauce. Serve the lobster mixture in toasted hot dog buns or rolls.
