Butter-Poached Lobster with Fresh Herbs


Chef’s Tips for Perfection

  • Don’t rush the poaching: Gentle heat is the secret to keeping the lobster meat tender.

  • Use fresh lobster if possible: The sweetness and texture are noticeably better than frozen.

  • Pair wisely: A crisp Sauvignon Blanc or buttery Chardonnay enhances the richness of the dish.

  • For an extra layer of indulgence, add a splash of Champagne to the poaching butter.


Serving Suggestion: Serve alongside garlic mashed potatoes, steamed asparagus, or a simple green salad to balance the richness of the butter.
