Preparation

Step 1

In a steamer basket set over
boiling water, place the lobster
tails. Cover and cook the lobster
tails for 8 minutes or until
shells are bright red and meat
is opaque. When cool enough
to handle, cut shells open using
scissors and remove the meat.
Coarsely chop the meat.
In a medium bowl, mix together
the egg, mayonnaise,
lemon juice, Dijon, green onions,
celery leaves, Old Bay
seasoning, salt and pepper.
Fold in the chopped lobster
meat and panko breadcrumbs.
Mix gently trying not to break
up the lobster pieces. Shape
into four patties about 1⁄2 inch
thick. Place on a plate and chill
for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile make the Cilantro
Mayo: In a small bowl combine
the mayonnaise, cilantro
and chili sauce; set aside.
Heat the canola oil in a
skillet over medium heat.
When hot, add the cakes and
cook about 3 minutes on each
side or until lightly browned.
Remove from the heat.
For each serving, place a
bed of mixed greens on a
plate. Top with two cakes for a
dinner portion and top with a
dollop of cilantro-mayo.
