Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

3. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
4. Brush the lobster meat generously with the garlic butter mixture.
5. Place the lobster tail on a baking tray and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and cooked through.
6. Remove from the oven and brush once more with the remaining garlic butter.
7. Garnish with a lemon wedge and serve immediately.
