Notes
Flavor variations
-
Extra spicy – Add a pinch of cayenne to the blend.
-
Zesty and tangy – For extra tang and vibrancy, use both lemon and lime zest in the spice blend.
-
Sugar free – Omit the brown sugar or replace it with honey.
-
Make it a marinade – Stir the spices together in a large bowl with a generous drizzle of olive oil. Pop the fish in the bowl, allow it to soak up the flavors from the marinade for 30 minutes, then cook!
-
Add herbs – You can give the spice blend a refreshing element by stirring in fresh or dried parsley, dill, cilantro, or rosemary.
