Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped Fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 cloves, finely minced Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
Wash and dry all fresh herbs thoroughly before finely chopping them.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped parsley, dill, and oregano.
Add the lemon zest and minced garlic to the herbs, stirring to combine.
Drizzle in the olive oil and mix well to form a cohesive paste-like mixture.
Season the rub with salt, ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and red chili flakes (if desired) for additional depth of flavor.
Use immediately by massaging the rub onto fish fillets, such as salmon or cod, or tossing it with freshly sliced vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or eggplant.
Let the seasoned fish or veggies rest for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors before cooking.
Cook fish by baking, grilling, or pan-searing to your preferred level of doneness. Roast seasoned vegetables in an oven preheated to 400°F (204°C) for 20-25 minutes, or grill them until tender and slightly charred.
Store any remaining rub in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
