Whisk together egg yolk, dijon mustard, lemon juice, kosher salt in a small-medium bowl.

Very slowly, begin to drip the oil into the bowl with the egg mixture, whisking constantly and vigorously.

The mixture will thicken and lighten little by little at first, and then faster and faster.

If your aioli is too thick once all the oil has been added, add a little water to loosen it up.

Whisk in a clove of minced garlic and let sit for at least 10 minutes, to allow the flavors to meld.
