Coarse salt and freshly ground white pepper
Preparation

Beat egg yolk until thick and sticky.

Carefully add the olive oil a few droplets at the time. If you add too much at once the mayonnaise will curdle. The mayonnaise should be extremely thick.

Peel the tomatoes and pass the juice and pulp through a fine sieve until you have 1 cup juice.

Put ¼ cup mayonnaise into a bowl. Reserve the rest for another use. Slowly beat tomato juice into mayonnaise. The sauce should be smooth and velvety.
Serve with seafood mousse or pate, poached salmon or whitefleshed fish.
