Seafood Seasoning
This homemade seafood seasoning blend is a salt-free recipe packed with herbal flavor. It's mild enough that it won't overpower tender filets of sea bass, but with enough spice that it can stand up to meaty halibut or richer salmon. Use it to season simple filets for pan searing, or layer it into your favorite seafood recipes.

Notes
- Shop this recipe: Visit our shop to browse quality Mediterranean ingredients including the spices used in this recipe.
- While you could just add all the spices into a jar and shake them to combine, I prefer mixing them in a bowl first to prevent clumps or uneven mixing.
- How to Store: Store the spice mix in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. The blend makes about 1/2 cup, so choose a jar large enough, about 4 to 5 ounces. Store it out of bright light and away from heat. A kitchen cupboard not directly next to the oven or stove is ideal.
- When to Replace: Stored properly, this homemade fish seasoning blend will keep its flavor for up to six months. You’ll know it’s time to mix up a new batch of the spice blend when the vibrant aroma and the red and green of the paprika and dried dill are fading, a sign of the diminishing flavor.
