Seafood Seasoning Recipe
Description
The Seafood Seasoning recipe is a mixture of various dry spices and herbs blended thoroughly into a uniform rub. Key ingredients like coarse sea salt provide seasoning depth, while coriander, dill, and mustard powder contribute distinct herbal and slightly pungent flavors. Cayenne pepper adds subtle heat balanced by sweet paprika and aromatic allspice and ginger.
The seasoning is prepared simply by mixing all ingredients in a bowl until evenly combined, resulting in a versatile spice blend that can be applied directly to seafood before cooking or incorporated into sauces and marinades.
This seasoning enhances flavors without overpowering the natural taste of seafood, providing a layer of complexity suited for grilling, baking, or pan-searing fish, shellfish, or other seafood proteins.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons sea salt coarse
- 1 tablespoon coriander seed crushed or ground
- 2 teaspoons celery seed
- 1 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 ½ tablespoons dill dry
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 ½ tablespoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 2 teaspoons mustard powder dry
- 1 teaspoon allspice ground or crushed
Instructions
- Add all the dry spices to a medium-sized bowl.
- Using a fork, spoon, or whisk, mix everything until combined. Use, or cover and sto
Notes
- Make the seasoning rub in advance to allow the flavors to meld before using.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months to maintain freshness.
- Glass jars with airtight lids work well for storage and dispensing.
- Optional additions include thyme, cumin, red pepper flakes, cardamom, cinnamon, or marjoram to customize the blend.
