½ tsp dried oregano
Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of oregano used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid oregano, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp cayenne pepper
½ tsp ground black pepper
¼ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp celery salt
1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh chives, finely sliced
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1
Combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, cayenne, black pepper, kosher salt, and celery salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Warm, stirring occasionally, until the oil is fragrant and the spices begin to sizzle gently at the edges, about 3–4 minutes. Do not let the oil smoke or the spices scorch.
2
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the spiced oil cool for 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley, chives, fresh thyme leaves, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
