Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large lobster tails (about 6 ounces / 170 grams each), thawed if frozen
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups mixed greens (baby spinach, arugula, kale)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice (optional)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the lobster tails by cutting down the center of the top shell with kitchen shears, stopping before the tail fin. Gently pull the meat upward to butterfly it and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dill, sea salt, and black pepper to make the lemon-herb marinade.
  3. Brush the marinade generously over the lobster meat, coating both sides. Let sit for about 10 minutes to marinate.
  4. Heat a medium skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place lobster tails meat-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until opaque with a slight golden crust. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked but still tender.
  5. While lobster cooks, toss mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado in a large bowl. Place quinoa or rice at the bottom of serving bowls if using.
  6. Slice cooked lobster meat into bite-sized chunks and arrange on top of the greens and grains. Drizzle any leftover marinade over the bowl and add red pepper flakes if desired.
  7. Gently toss or serve as is. Serve immediately while lobster is warm and greens are crisp.

Notes

Do not overcook lobster tails to avoid rubbery texture. Marinate lobster for about 10 minutes to avoid ‘cooking’ the meat with lemon juice. Fresh herbs are preferred for best flavor. Lobster can be cooked ahead and chilled; add fresh lemon and herbs before serving to revive flavors. Use cauliflower rice or spiralized zucchini for low-carb variations.
