Start by getting your fresh lobster! If you're using cooked lobster tails, simply remove the meat and chop it into bite-sized pieces. If you have access to a seafood market, they usually sell pre-cooked lobster meat. This will save you time and make preparation even easier.
In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, capers, minced chives, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture until it's smooth and well combined. This dressing will bring a good creaminess and a kick of flavor to the lobster.
Gently fold the chopped lobster meat into the dressing. Ensure that every piece is coated without mashing it. The lobster should remain chunky and succulent.
Slice your brioche buns down the center, being careful not to cut all the way through. Melt the salted butter in a skillet over low heat. Toast the rolls in the butter until they’re golden brown. This adds a delightful crunch to the exterior.
Fill each toasted bun with the luscious lobster mixture. You want to pack it in without spilling over. If you like, sprinkle a little smoked paprika over the top for extra flavor and visual appeal.
Your lobster rolls are ready to devour! Serve them immediately for the best experience. Enjoy the flavors of summer in every bite.
