Of course, you cold make lemon mayonnaise using your favorite recipe and Lemon Oil, adding lemon juice and zest to taste, or you could make it this faster way.

Servings: 4-6

1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons coarsely-grain or regular Dijon mustard
Pinch of slat
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Whisk together the mayonnaise, zest, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until combined well. This will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 1 week.

Variations:

Lemon-Shallot Mayonnaise
Add minced shallots, raw or cooked.

Lemon-Mustard Mayonnaise
Stir in Dijon and/or whole-grain mustard to taste.

Lemon-Anchovy Mayonnaise
Mash drained anchovies, with garlic if desired, and add to the mayonnaise. Serve with cold seafood.

Lemon-Caviar Mayonnaise
Add about 1/2 cup caviar to the mayonnaise, prepared without salt. Serve with poached salmon or other fish.

Lemon-Caper Mayonnaise
Stir in finely grated zest, fresh lemon juice, chopped drained capers, and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Serve with fish or shellfish.

Lemon-Saffron Mayonnaise
Steep a pinch of crumbled saffron threads in the lemon juice before making the mayonnaise.

Gremolata Mayonnaise
Stir in a generous amount of Gremolata. It's great on cold chicken or fish.

Lemon-Fennel Mayonnaise
Stir in minced fennel bulb and fronds, Pernod, or ground fennel seeds.

Fresh Horseradish Mayonnaise
