Prepare the Lobster:
- Start by removing the lobster meat from the tail, leaving some in the tail case for presentation. Season the lobster meat with salt to taste.
-
Broil the Lobster:
- Preheat your broiler. Place the lobster meat on a baking pan. Melt half of the butter and pour half of the white wine over the lobster meat. Broil for 3 to 4 minutes, depending on your preferred doneness (3 minutes for tender, 4 minutes for slightly firmer texture).
-
Prepare the Fillet:
- While the lobster is broiling, prepare the fish fillet. Pour the remaining white wine over the fillet and broil it to your liking. This usually takes about 3 to 4 minutes as well, depending on how well done you prefer your fish.
-
Sauté the Tomatoes:
- In a separate skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Add the sliced tomatoes and sauté until the tomatoes are tender and the butter is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
-
Serve:
- Arrange the broiled lobster and fish fillet on a serving plate. Garnish with chopped parsley for freshness. Serve the sautéed tomatoes alongside as a flavorful accompaniment.
Chef’s Tips:
- For an extra touch of flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice over the seafood just before serving.
- Ensure the broiler is preheated to ensure quick and even cooking of the lobster and fish.
- Adjust broiling times based on the thickness of the lobster and fish fillet to achieve your desired level of doneness.
