  • Melt the clarified butter over medium-low heat until a foam appears. Remove from heat.
  • Brush the buns with melted butter and sprinkle with salt. For GF, hotdog buns work best! Place buns underneath the broiler until just golden brown. WATCH CAREFULLY! It cooks quick!
  • For the lobster, remove the meat from the shell by making an incision down the center of the tail. Crack open the shell and pull out the meat with a fork.
  • Add the lobster meat to a large bowl. Season with four pinches of salt.
  • Pour the dressing over the lobster to taste. Toss to coat. Adjust salt, dressing, and lemon juice as needed.
  • Finally, add an equal portion of the dressed lobster to each split bun. Enjoy!
