First, prepare the mayonnaise: place the egg, salt, lemon juice and olive oil in the jar of an immersion blender. Insert the blender arm all the way in and beat for a few seconds. As the mixture begins to emulsify, gradually lift up the arm. Repeat the operation for a few seconds until the sauce is smooth.
