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)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry all fresh herbs thoroughly before finely chopping them.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped parsley, dill, and oregano.

Step 3

Add the lemon zest and minced garlic to the herbs, stirring to combine.

Step 4

Drizzle in the olive oil and mix well to form a cohesive paste-like mixture.

Step 5

Season the rub with salt, ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and red chili flakes (if desired) for additional depth of flavor.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Let the seasoned fish or veggies rest for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors before cooking.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Store any remaining rub in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
