Pescatarian Herb Roasting Rub
This fragrant spice blend is the kind of pantry staple that quietly transforms everything it touches. Rosemary, thyme, oregano, and parsley form a classic herbal backbone, while turmeric, ginger, and a hint of cayenne add warmth and a little intrigue. The lemon zest is the secret weapon — it brightens the whole blend and makes it especially brilliant on fish and seafood. Pressing a generous coating onto salmon, halibut, or shrimp before roasting delivers bold, layered flavor without a single complicated step. It comes together in minutes with ingredients you likely already have on hand, and a batch stored in an airtight jar stays fresh for up to three months. Having a go-to rub like this in your kitchen means weeknight pescatarian dinners are never boring or bland again.
