I’d be happy to help you make Nova Scotian Lobster Rolls! Here’s a simple recipe for you:

**Ingredients:**

* 4 lobster tails (about 8 oz each)
* 4 hot dog buns (New England-style split-top buns if available)
* 1/4 cup mayonnaise
* 1 tbsp lemon juice
* 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives (or 1 tsp dried chives)
* 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried dill)
* Salt and pepper to taste
* 2 tbsp butter, melted
* Lettuce leaves (optional)

**Instructions:**

1. **Cook the lobster:**
– Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster tails and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the shells turn red and the meat is cooked through.
– Drain the lobster tails and let them cool until they’re comfortable to handle.

2. **Prepare the lobster meat:**
– Using kitchen shears or a knife, cut the lobster tails in half lengthwise. Remove the meat and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

3. **Make the dressing:**
– In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, dill, salt, and pepper.

4. **Combine the lobster and dressing:**
– Add the chopped lobster meat to the dressing and gently mix until the lobster is well coated.

5. **Prepare the buns:**
– Heat a skillet over medium heat. Brush the outer sides of the buns with the melted butter. Place the buns in the skillet and toast until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.

6. **Assemble the lobster rolls:**
– If using lettuce, line the toasted buns with lettuce leaves. Spoon the lobster mixture evenly into each bun. Serve immediately.

Enjoy your Nova Scotian Lobster Rolls! Remember, the key to a great lobster roll is to keep it simple and let the lobster be the star.
