I loved this recipe! I added just a couple drops of agave to balance out the lemon, but thought the flavor of the saffron was divine and the richness of the mayo complemented the mussels beautifully. It was a hit at our family function and everyone wanted to take the mayonnaise home! It is a very versatile sauce that would complement vegetables like asparagus, broccoli, or potato. You will just want to dip your bread in it! With the mussels, make sure you take the step to sprinkle the finished mussels with the salt and pepper... It would definitely be bland otherwise.

This was pretty simple, elegant, and delicious. I made the saffron mayonnaise earlier during the day, and just cooked the mussels just before serving. It is not the most flavorful, but if the mussels are fresh and delicious, this recipe doesn't mask the taste.
