Creating delicious butter poached lobster tails can be done effortlessly if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Lobster: Using kitchen shears, carefully cut the top shell of the lobster tails down the middle. Gently pull the lobster meat out while keeping it attached at the base.

2. Melt the Butter: In a saucepan, combine unsalted butter and water over low heat. Stir gently until the butter is completely melted and emulsified.

3. Add Salt: Season the melted butter mixture with salt to taste. This is key to enhancing the overall flavor.

4. Poach the Lobster: Submerge the lobster tails in the butter mixture. Allow them to poach gently for about 10-15 minutes, until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

5. Monitor Temperature: Use a thermometer to ensure the lobster reaches an ideal internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) for perfect tenderness.

6. Plate the Lobster: Carefully remove the lobster tails from the butter and place them on a serving platter. The rich butter can be reserved for dipping.

7. Garnish and Serve: Finish by squeezing fresh lemon juice over the lobster and garnishing with fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor.
