- 2 pinches salt (adjust to your preference)
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise (for a smooth, rich texture)
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard (adds a subtle tang)
- A pinch of black pepper
- A sprinkle of dried parsley
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 Tbsp minced garlic (freshly minced offers the best flavor)
- 2 pinches salt (adjust to your preference)
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise (for a smooth, rich texture)
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard (adds a subtle tang)
- A pinch of black pepper

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the lobster. If it’s been steamed, rinse it briefly under cold water. Place the lobster on a cutting board. Carefully separate the tail from the head using a sharp knife. Then, detach the claws from the head. (Tip: Lobsters can be strong, so handle with care. You can make this easier by piercing the joints of the claws.)
Step 2
Now, let’s whip up the magical garlic butter sauce that will elevate your lobster! In a bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, salt, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Add a pinch of black pepper. Whisk everything together with a fork or a small whisk until smooth and well combined. If the sauce seems too thick, you can melt a tiny bit more butter and mix it in.
Step 3
Generously brush the prepared garlic butter sauce all over the exposed lobster meat on the tail and inside the claws. Don’t be shy with the sauce – a good amount ensures a moist and intensely flavorful result after roasting. Once coated, sprinkle evenly with dried parsley for a beautiful finish and added aroma.
Step 4
It’s time to get your lobster into the oven! Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Place the sauced lobster on a baking sheet and roast for approximately 10 minutes. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size of your lobster and your oven. Cook until the lobster meat is opaque and the butter sauce is lightly golden. Once you can smell that irresistible garlic butter aroma, your delicious Lobster Garlic Butter Roast is ready to be enjoyed!
