Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon dried chives
- 1 tablespoon dried tarragon
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon dried chervil
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground dried green peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon dried lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Method
- Prep. Crush all the ingredients so they are about the same size. You can crush them in a mortar and pestle, or in a bowl with a wooden spoon.
- Combine all of the ingredients and store in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid. It will keep for a few months.
- Serve. Season your favorite fish, grill, and serve.
- When ready to use, salt the both sides of the meat lightly. We want the salt to hit the moisture and dissolve and get sucked in. If you can, salt it at least an hour in advance. Now sprinkle the rub on the flesh side of the fish. For a filet about the size of a business envelope, use about 1 teaspoon. If you plan to eat the skin, season it too. Then sprinkle on the rub. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Notes
About the peppercorns. If you can't find green, you can substitute black. The taste is significantly different but it works fine.
About the herbs. This recipe calls for dried herbs so you can mix a batch and store it. You can use fresh, but they taste very different. Use 2 to 3 times as much fresh as dried because dried is more concentrated.
About the salt. Remember, Morton's coarse kosher salt is half the concentration of table salt so if you use table salt, use half as much. Click here to read more about salt and how it works.
