Lemon Herb Fish Rub

Ingredients & ratio

tsp = teaspoon / cucchiaino

Apply just 15–30 min before cooking — salt on fish for too long draws out moisture

Preparation

1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
2. Apply on both sides of the fish fillet 15–30 minutes before cooking only.
3. Do not apply hours in advance — salt draws moisture from fish, softening the texture.
4. Pat dry with paper towel before cooking for better crust formation.

Notes

Fish does not benefit from long marination with salt. The lemon zest delivers far more aroma than lemon juice, which would make the surface wet.
