2 Valley or Meyer Lemons, washed, thin sliced, discarding ends

2 12 oz Caribbean Lobster tails, rinsed, meat removed and sliced down center

to coat kosher salt

to coat Madagascar Black Peppercorns, ground coarse

½ tsp tarragon leaves, chopped fine

Heat pan to medium heat. Add lemon slices and let lightly sear in pan, turning once. Remove completely from heat and let pan cool.

As you begin to reheat pan over very low heat, add butter and lemon slices. Keep heat very low so butter does not separate.

Salt and pepper lobster and gently lay in heated butter. Keep heat at just barely a bubble. Add tarragon.

Basting with butter often, let poach about 5 minutes per inch of thickeness, turning and basting other side, then turning back at end before plating pretty side up.

Plate and garnish with fresh chives.
