Poor Man's Lobster Rolls

A truly light and delightful summer sandwich.  Adapted from Food Network Magazine; sauce mixture is from the magazine.

Use imitation lobster for a budget-friendly version or the real thing for a special occasion.

Ingredients:
2 packages imitation lobster, chunked
1 lemon, halved
1/2 cup mayonnaise
7 tbs. butter, melted
6 hoagie buns
1/4 cup roughly chopped celery leaves
1/4 tsp. celery salt
2 roma tomatoes, sliced lengthwise
salt
1/8 tsp. dried dill

1. Whisk mayonnaise, 4 tbs. melted butter, and the juice from the lemon in a large bowl. Add lobster meat and toss to coat. Season with salt.
2. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Brush the outside of hoagie rolls with melted butter and toast rolls until golden, about 1 minute per side.
3. Line the split of the hoagie roll with tomato slices. Top with lobster mixture and sprinkle with celery leaves, celery salt, and dill.
