Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided 

4 New England–style split-top buns 

4 tablespoons mayonnaise 

1 pound cooked lobster meat 

4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 

2 teaspoons mixed dried spices (celery salt, oregano, thyme, and ground pepper) 

Preparation

With a brush, spread 2 tablespoons butter, melted, on outsides of split-top buns. In a skillet or on a griddle, toast buns over medium until crisp and golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes.

Spread mayonnaise on inside of buns. Divide lobster meat among buns.

Mix together 2 tablespoons butter, melted, and lemon juice. Drizzle over lobster, sprinkle with spices, and serve.
