In a small bowl, combine the lemon myrtle powder and fresh thyme leaves.
Add the olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the bowl. Mix well to combine the flavors.
Stir in the minced garlic, honey, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until it emulsifies into a smooth marinade.
Taste the marinade and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add a touch more salt, pepper, or honey to balance the flavors as desired.
