How to make Maine Lobster Rolls
For the Lobster Salad
Drain the cooked lobster meat in a colander for 5 minutes.
Set out a large mixing bowl and chop the fresh herbs.
If using claw meat, there is no need to chop it, but you can if you want smaller pieces. If using lobster tails, chop them into bite-size pieces.
Move the lobster meat to the mixing bowl and add the mayonnaise, dill, parsley, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix well.
Cover and chill until ready to serve.
For the Toasted Rolls
Spread both flat sides of the New England rolls with a generous amount of butter.
Heat a large skillet or griddle to medium heat. Place the rolls flat-side-down in the skillet.
Toast for 1-3 minutes until golden-brown. Then flip and toast the other side for 1-3 minutes.
Remove and repeat as needed.
Once all of the rolls are perfectly toasted, load them with lobster salad and serve.
