Directions
-
Prepare the lobster salad: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat with mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, dill, celery, and shallot. Season with salt, pepper, and, if desired, a pinch of Old Bay or smoked paprika for that tremendous extra flavor. Mix gently, ensuring that the lobster remains chunky and luscious. Cover the bowl and chill for about 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
Toast the croissants: Take your fresh croissants and slice them horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through. This preserves the croissant’s integrity while creating a perfect pocket for the filling. Lightly butter the insides with softened butter. Toast them in a skillet over medium heat or place them in the oven until they are golden brown and flaky, giving off a beautiful aroma.
-
Assemble the rolls: Once the croissants are toasted, you can line each one with a leaf of lettuce or a handful of baby spinach for added freshness and crunch—a great contrast against the rich filling. Generously spoon the lobster salad into each croissant, making sure to heap in that tremendous mixture. For an extra pop of flavor, top each roll with additional dill or a squeeze of lemon juice.
-
Serve: These delicious rolls are best enjoyed immediately while the croissants are still warm, cradling the chilled lobster filling. Serve them with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty touch that enhances every bite.
