Critical Success Points

  • Roasting the fish bones for color and depth of flavor
  • Straining the stock to achieve a clear broth
  • Emulsifying the aioli slowly to prevent breaking

Safety Warnings

  • Use oven mitts when handling the hot roasting pan.
  • Hot oil can splatter; keep a lid nearby.
  • Raw egg yolks carry a risk of salmonella; use fresh, refrigerated eggs or pasteurized yolks.
  • Saffron can stain skin and clothing; handle with care.
