Preparation

Step 1
In a food processor, pulse the roe until it is liquid. Add the salt and lemon juice, and pulse to combine.
Step 2
With machine running, pour oil through feed tube a few drops at a time. When about ½ cup has been added and sauce starts to thicken, pour a little faster, in a slow steady stream, until all the oil has been incorporated. Stop once to scrape down the sides of the bowl. If the mayonnaise seems too thick, add 1 tablespoon water and pulse to combine. Use as a dip for vegetables.
