Homemade mayo is absolutely the best mayo you can get.

I often make some additional spicy mayo’s based on the basic recipe for my burgers. Just use your imagination and you can make some great mayos. I have created a few example for you here.

Some mayos are excellent for fish burgers, like salmon or tuna burgers. I like to add Wasabi to the mayo for fish burgers. I use leftover Wasabi from Sushi or you can purchase Wasabi powder at the grocery store and make it yourself. If you can get it fresh you are in luck and should of course use that.

You can also use BBQ Sauce to make the mayo more smoky and sweeter. Just use your favorite sauce and add a couple of tablespoons of it.

If you like a real hot mayo, I suggest you use finely diced chipotle. Chipotle is a smoked jalapeno and adds a deep smoky flavor to the mayo. But be careful! The peppers are hot, so only add a little at a time until desired taste is acquired.
