Lobster Salad with Brown-Butter Vinaigrette
Lobster with brown butter vinaigrette is a combination I first fell in love with after a meal at Eventide Oyster Co. in Portland, Maine. Their untraditional lobster roll is a Chinese-style steamed bun stuffed with warm lobster coated in a beautiful brown butter vinaigrette. It’s what put the restaurant on the map, and for good reason.
