- Move your oven rack to the upper third position and preheat it to broil on high.
- In a small bowl, combine parsley, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
- Place the butterflied lobster tails in a roasting pan. Drizzle the marinade over each tail and dot with pieces of unsalted butter.
- Broil for about 10-11 minutes until the lobster meat is opaque and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Collect the drippings from the pan in a small saucepan and mix with any remaining butter, heating gently until melted.
