Description

This elegant dish features succulent lobster meat grilled to perfection, offering a sweet and briny flavor profile. The lobster is split lengthwise and charred on the grill, creating a delightful smoky crust while keeping the interior tender and juicy. It is served alongside a refreshing herb salad made with fresh basil, mint, fennel fronds, and scallions, dressed lightly with olive oil and bright lemon juice. This combination balances the richness of the seafood with crisp, aromatic greens. Perfect for a special occasion, summer dinner party, or a luxurious date night at home. It feels restaurant-quality but is simple enough to prepare for a memorable meal.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  2. Humanely dispatch the lobsters and split them lengthwise, removing the tomalley if desired.
  3. Brush the cut sides of the lobster halves with extra virgin olive oil.
  4. Place the lobster halves cut-side down on the preheated grill.
  5. Grill for 7 to 10 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the meat is opaque and firm.
  6. While the lobster cooks, wash and spin dry the basil, mint, parsley, and chervil leaves.
  7. Julienne the scallions and cut the chives into 4-inch batons.
  8. In a large mixing bowl, combine the fennel fronds, basil, mint, scallions, parsley, chives, and chervil.
  9. Drizzle with 4 tablespoons of olive oil and add the juice and zest of one lemon.
  10. Season the herb mixture with salt and pepper to taste, then toss gently to combine.
  11. Transfer the dressed herb salad to a serving platter.
  12. Remove the cooked lobster from the grill and arrange the halves next to the herb salad.
  13. Serve immediately while the lobster is still warm.
