Lobster is always perfect for a special occasion dinner, and it's even better when you enjoy it in the intimate atmosphere of your own home.

Ingreients for Sauce: 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard 1/2 teaspoon water 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce 1 tablespoon plum sauce 1 tablespoon dry sherry 3/4 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger Ingredients for Lobster: 2 (8-ounce) frozen lobster tails, thawed Cooking spray 1 teaspoon vegetable oil 1/4 teaspoon dark sesame oil 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Sliced green onions (optional)

Preheat oven to 425°.

To prepare sauce, combine mustard and water in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk. Stir in soy sauce, plum sauce, sherry, and ginger; set aside.

To prepare lobster, make a lengthwise cut through the top of each lobster shell using kitchen shears, cutting to, but not through, lobster meat; press shell open. Place the lobster tails, cut sides up, in a shallow roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Combine the oils and pepper, and spoon over the lobster meat.

Bake at 425° for 13 minutes or until the lobster meat turns opaque. Serve lobster with sauce, and garnish with onions, if desired.

Look for loose bitter greens in bins in the produce section of your supermarket, or create your own mix with watercress, endive, arugula, and radicchio. Just about any nut will work nicely in this salad; try it with hazelnuts for a holiday touch.
