Mayonnaise for Fish

 Ingredients: For about 1 3/4 cup (430 ml): -1 large egg -1 teaspoon Dijon mustard -1-3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, to taste -1/2 teaspoon salt -1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper -3/4 cup (180 ml) canola or sunflower oil -3/4 cup (180 ml) olive oil -1 teaspoon crushed garlic or 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground cloves

To make a delicious and fluffy mayonnaise, start by preparing the egg. Place the unpeeled egg in a bowl of hot tap water and let it warm up for about 3 minutes. This step is essential, as the warm egg will contribute to better emulsification, resulting in a creamier and airier texture. After the time has passed, carefully crack the egg, making sure not to let the shell fall into the mixture. Place it in the food processor or blender, adding the mustard, freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

In a separate bowl, mix the canola oil (or sunflower oil, depending on your preference) with the olive oil. This combination will not only give the mayonnaise a refined taste but will also help stabilize the emulsion. Once you have prepared the oil mixture, turn on the food processor or blender at low speed and start to slowly drizzle the oil mixture into the bowl. It is very important to add the oil at a steady pace, allowing the ingredients to combine optimally. Process for at least one minute or until the mixture becomes thick, creamy, and very fluffy.

Once the mayonnaise reaches the desired consistency, remove it from the bowl and transfer it to a serving bowl. Here, add a tablespoon of hot water to adjust the texture and the crushed garlic or freshly minced garlic clove, depending on your preferences. Mix well to integrate all the flavors. It is important to taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasonings to your liking, adding more salt, pepper, or mustard if necessary. This mayonnaise will not only be a perfect accompaniment for salads, sandwiches, or vegetables, but it will also add a refined touch to your dishes. Enjoy the final result, savoring its smooth texture and fresh taste!
