DIRECTIONS
Surimi Seafood Salad: Pull surimi seafood into 1/2” pieces along natural seams. Combine ingredients and toss. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
Assembly: Split sandwich roll in half, leaving an inch at each end unsliced. Butter each side. Place buttered sides down onto hot griddle or under broiler until golden brown. Gently pinch the roll open (like a baked potato); stuff with chilled surimi seafood salad. Garnish with fresh tarragon leaves, celery leaves and fresh grated lemon zest.
