Sweet Heat Aioli

The preparation

4 steps, about 5 minutes start to finish.

1. 01

   1. Grate the garlic to a paste. A microplane does it; a knife and a pinch of salt dragged across the board does it too.

2. 02

   2. Stir the garlic, sriracha, honey, lime juice, paprika and salt into the mayonnaise until it is one even orange.

3. 03

   3. Taste. More honey if the heat is sharp, more sriracha if it is dessert. It should finish with a slow warmth, not a sting.

4. 04

   4. Cover and refrigerate until the fish is fried. Keeps a week.
