Slice the top ¼ inch off the 1 head garlic head to expose cloves. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle coarse sea salt and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Set it on a rimmed baking sheet.
Roast the garlic for 35–40 min until the cloves are soft, golden and fragrant. Remove and allow to cool before squeezing out the paste into a bowl set aside.
Aioli:
In a small food processor, combine the 1 cup good-quality mayonnaise*, 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt and 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil with 1 tablespoon of the roasted garlic paste. Taste test and decide if you want to add more to make it bolder.
Chill and use as needed.

Notes
