- Saute in some oil in a skillet until golden, 2 minutes on the first side and 1 minute on the second side.

Turn back to low speed and add the wine and lemon juice. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Turn to low speed and add the parsley; beat 30 seconds and turn off mixer.
- Mix together mayo, dill, white pepper, cayenne and lemon juice in a bowl.
