Ingredients:

  • 1 lb lobster meat, pre-cooked and chopped into bite-sized chunks
  • 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, beaten egg, lemon juice, Old Bay, salt, and pepper. Fold in the Panko bread crumbs and parsley until a thick paste forms. Gently fold in the lobster chunks, ensuring the meat is evenly coated but not over-mixed.
  2. Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties (roughly 2-3 oz each). Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the structure.
  3. Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it begins to foam. Carefully place the chilled cakes in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes per side without moving them, until they develop a deep golden-brown crust.
  4. Remove the cakes from the heat and let them rest for 2 minutes. Serve immediately with the chilled dill sauce made from Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, and fresh dill.
