4
For the mayonnaise, place the egg yolk, lime juice, zest and mustard into a bowl. Whisk together for 1 minute then very slowly add the olive oil, taking care not to split the mix. Season with a little salt, cover and store in the fridge until required

10
Remove the fish from the oil and place onto kitchen towel to drain. Season with salt
