Preparation

Crack the lobster shells and remove the meat, keeping it as whole as possible.
Set aside on a paper towel to drain.
In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, chives, dill, tarragon, salt, and pepper.

Cut the lobster into large bite-sized pieces if desired, then add to the mayonnaise mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Split the buns with a sharp knife and spread softened butter inside.
Place them butter-side down in a cold nonstick pan over medium heat.
Toast for about 2 minutes until golden brown.

Stuff the toasted buns with the lobster salad.
Garnish with additional chives, lemon zest, and a sprinkle of black pepper before serving.
