The Golden Rule
"Always taste and adjust your seasoning at the very end. Mayo mutes salt slightly, so what tastes right immediately after mixing might need a tiny extra pinch after chilling."

Chef's Notes
Do not rush the resting time in the fridge! Mayonnaise acts as a sponge for all those wonderful pickles, capers, and shallots. Giving it even just thirty minutes to chill transforms it from a simple condiment into a legendary sauce.
Pro Tip
If you want an extra level of brightness, grate a tiny bit of lemon zest right into the mix. Just avoid the bitter white pith, or the crown will be displeased.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Using sweet relish instead of dill pickles and dumping half a bottle of hot sauce in thinking it will look cool, resulting in a neon-orange radioactive sludge that tastes like candy and burns your tongue off.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
They call it tartar sauce, but I have yet to meet a dentist who actually recommends this as a daily cleaning regimen.
The Culinary Science
Mayonnaise is a delicate emulsion of oil suspended in water, stabilized by egg yolk. Adding acidic ingredients like lemon juice and mustard not only boosts flavor but actually strengthens the emulsion.
