Lobster Tails with Lemon and Herb Salad

Ingredients

• 2 whole lobster tails
• 2 cups mixed fresh herbs (such as parsley, arugula, or dill)
• 1 whole lemon
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• ½ tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the 2 lobster tails in half lengthwise with kitchen shears. Brush the cut sides with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with 0.25 tsp salt.

2. 2

   Heat a skillet over medium-high. Place the lobster tails cut-side down and cook until the meat is opaque and lightly charred, about 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes more until just cooked through.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, the juice of 0.5 lemon, and 0.25 tsp salt to make the dressing.

4. 4

   Toss the 2 cups herbs with the dressing. Serve the lobster tails with the herb salad, lemon wedges from the remaining 0.5 lemon, and a small ramekin of melted butter for dipping.

5. 5

   For the dipping sauce, melt the 2 tbsp butter in the microwave or a small pan until just melted, about 30 seconds.
