Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 quarts lobster stock made by simmering lobster bodies and white Mire Poix in water for 45 minutes then strain.
1 egg yolk*
4 tablespoons canola oil
Salt and pepper
4 small vine ripe tomatoes with stem, peeled and sliced
2 (1 1/4 pound) lobsters, cooked and removed from the shell intact
1 avocado
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, zested and juiced
4 basil leaves, sliced
1 shallot, minced
Sea salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • To make aioli, reduce stock down to 2 tablespoons and cool. In a mixing bowl combine yolk and stock with a whip, season with salt and pepper. While mixing, slowly add the oil in a steady stream until fully incorporated being careful not to add the oil to fast. Taste and adjust seasoning, reserve.
  • For the salad cut tomatoes in half widthwise, cut bottom flat so that the tomato will stand upright. Slice lobster into bite size pieces and lay out on a sheet pan. Remove avocado skin and stone, slice into 1/8-inch slices. Lay avocado out on a sheet pan. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and sprinkle with teaspoon zest, basil, shallot, salt and pepper.
  • Place a spoonful of aioli in the middle of each plate. Place tomato button in center of aioli, top with 3 to 4 slices of avocado and then 1/4 of the lobster. Place top of tomato on top so that it is reassembled. Garnish with baby greens and serve.

The lobster was overcooked and the avocado relish was too chunky. I would not recommend this recipe.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. The avocado relish and shellfish aioli were good, but they couldn't save the salad.

Easy to make and so flavorful! I used a store-bought avocado relish and shellfish aioli to save time, and it still tasted amazing. The lobster and tomatoes were so fresh and juicy.
