Oh my, were these delicious! I halved the recipe for my hubby and me, although if when I make them again I won't halve the fennel citrus salad. I can think of lots of fun ways to use it again. I served on sprouted grain rolls which were heartier and heavier than the ones in the recipe but they still got very juicy and I improved the overall nutritional profile a bit.

Bright citrus and licorice notes from the fennel complement the sweet, tarragon-flecked lobster meat. We use New England-style hot dog buns, which are top-split and have an open crumb on the sides.
