How-to
Make Spicy Mayo
- In a small bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, red wine vinegar, mustard and chili sauce until eggs are incorporated and sugar has melted
- Slowly drizzle in the chili oil, whisking vigorously until it becomes the consistency of mayonnaise
- Store in a well-sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to use; mayo should last about 5-6 days only (due to use of raw eggs)
Season & Broil Cod
- Set broiler to high
- Place cod on a rimmed baking sheet
- Coat each fillet with about 1 tbsp olive oil and season both sides liberally with salt and pepper
- Broil for 8½ - 9 minutes (or 4½ minutes in wood-fired oven)
- Remove from broiler and spoon 1 heaping tbsp of spicy mayo over the top of each cod fillet
- Place back in the boiler, and allow to broil 1 additional minute, until the top of the spicy mayo is caramelized (browned)
- Serve immediately with accompaniments of choice
Serving Suggestion - Serve atop Chef Lampert's Sweet Potato Hash with a tart salad of Lola Rosa baby greens dressed with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and top with sliced scallions
