Fish Seasoning – Immaculate Bites

Homemade seafood seasoning for stress-free cooking

Who isn’t in a hurry to have dinner at the table? Ready-made condiments can be lifesaversCertain herbs and spices are compatible with fish. The first thing that comes to mind is dill. There’s no dill in this mix, but it turns a great fish dinner into a flavor party.

recipe ingredients

1. garlic powder – This spice is used in almost all spice mixes due to its appetizing aroma and flavor.
2. onion powder – The powder gives seasoning mixes a rich, slightly sweet onion flavor without the moisture that onions are known for.
3. celery seeds – These tiny seeds provide an earthy flavor to round out the mix. The taste will change slightly, but the compatibility with fish is outstanding.
4. black pepper – Add black pepper for a mild but noticeable kick! I love fresh grounds, but regular works well too.
5. smoked paprika – Gives your fish a subtle smoky flavor that is absolutely divine.
6. allspice – This spice is fragrant, fragrant, with a slightly peppery tone and tastes great with all kinds of seafood (even beef).
7. Ginger – Tangy and slightly sweet, this spice is a must for my fish seasoning.
8. mustard – Zesty and sharp, this does a great job of balancing out the overall mix.
9. Cayenne – I love spice mixes and they give me a little kick.
10. salt – Salt brings out other flavors in the mix. However, if you are controlling your salt consumption, you can omit it.
