Pescatarian Italian Herb & Spice Rub
This fragrant spice blend is the kind of pantry staple that quietly transforms everything it touches. Oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme form a classic Mediterranean backbone, while smoked paprika adds a subtle depth and turmeric brings a warm, golden earthiness that makes the whole mix feel a little unexpected. A pinch of red pepper flakes is optional, but if you like a gentle kick, don't skip it. The blend comes together in minutes — just stir and jar — and keeps for up to six months, so you can reach for it whenever inspiration strikes. It's especially brilliant on fish and seafood, coating fillets or shrimp before grilling, roasting, or pan-searing with ease. Because every ingredient here is a straightforward dried herb or spice, there's no guesswork about hidden additives or unwanted animal-derived fillers. Make a double batch and you'll wonder how your kitchen ever functioned without it.
