I'm pretty satisfied with home cooking, a simple tomato and cucumber salad with salt, pepper, a touch of oregano to accompany a simply grilled salmon.
I sprinkle my own spice mix on the fish before I put it on the grill.
Here is the spice mix I use for fish, chicken, lamb burgers. Measurements are approximate.
1/4 cup of dried oregano
1/8 cup of pepper
1/8 cup of caraway seeds
1/8 cup of fennel seeds
1/8 cup of dry onion flakes
1 Tablespoon of mustard seeds
1 Tablespoon of paprika
1Tablespoon of salt
1Tablespoon of dried lemon zest
Run everything in a pepper mill or coffee grinder. Store in a container with a tight lid.
mmmm! Thank you for this, we've been grilling a lot, and I can't wait to try out this mix!
ReplyDeleteDiana, try a smaller batch and see if you like it.
ReplyDeleteI like simple food best. we went on vacation to Cozumel one year and every restaurant in the hotels and in the little town served 'fancy' food. I couldn't eat any of it...too rich. we took a day trip to see some ruins and part of it was lunch at a little hut on a beach. it was the best food I had that whole trip. plain grilled fish, boiled potatoes and a simple salad.
ReplyDeletewe'll have to try your spice mix.
My sentiments,plain is best. If something is covered with sauce, I tend to balk.
ReplyDeleteOne word sums it up: YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteThis is great, Rosaria! My new favorite to try on my freshly picked tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteI agree, totally yummy! I hope you will link this up at my June Salad Round Up - http://seasidesimplicity.blogspot.com/2011/06/wanted-salads.html
ReplyDeleteGreat salad and spice mix! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteNote:
ReplyDeleteOn Sunday, I bbq'd salmon steaks, with a small pinch of spice mix. I rubbed some olive oil first, then sprinkled the spice mix like salt and pepper.
If you like more heat, add cayenne instead of paprika.
