Bring the water and half the salt to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the lobster meat and cook gently until just opaque and firm, about 3 to 4 minutes. Note: If using pre-cooked lobster meat, skip the poaching and proceed to the next step. Drain the lobster, pat thoroughly dry with paper towels, and let cool completely in the refrigerator. Done when opaque and firm, 145°F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the light mayonnaise, lemon juice, remaining salt, and black pepper. Stir in the diced celery, two-thirds of the minced chives, and the chilled lobster meat until everything is evenly coated.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and coat both the pan and the outside of the bun with cooking spray. Toast the sides of the bun in the pan until golden brown and warm, about 2 minutes.
Pile the lobster salad into the toasted bun, letting it mound over the top. Garnish with the remaining chives and serve any extra salad that does not fit in the bun on the side.
