Heat water in an 8-10 inch skillet until simmering. Add crushed garlic and cook for 90 seconds.
Reduce heat to low (barely simmering) and add butter, one tablespoon at a time, whisking to emulsify. It usually takes 20-30 seconds for each tablespoon to melt into the sauce, so this process will take 5-6 minutes total.
Add lobster meat to the butter sauce and poach gently over low heat for about 4 minutes, just until the seafood begins to firm. Gently flip the lobster and cook another 2 minutes, or until the meat is just cooked through.
Remove lobster and add lemon juice to the sauce. Taste and add a pinch of salt, if needed.
Serve poached lobster in butter sauce over pasta, rice or with steamed veggies, along with a fresh lemon wedge and crusty bread. Garnish with diced chives or tarragon leaves.
