Besides fresh lemon juice, whenever that little added tangy flavor is needed to season fish, chicken, soups or salads, this Lemon Pepper Seasoning always works. Made with pantry staples and without all the salt that store bought brings, too.
Lemon Pepper Seasoning
This has to be one of my favorite go to seasonings for all things seafood and chicken. It’s bright, citrus tang and peppery flavors accentuate and add to, not take over, whatever you put this on.
Five ingredients is all it takes to make this one.
What’s in Lemon Pepper Seasoning?
Keeping things simple its dried, minced lemon peel, black pepper, kosher salt, garlic and onion powders. Simply add to a mason jar with lid, shake and store.
Dried Lemon Peel?
I get my dried lemon peel from Penzys (in store or online). I typically make my spice and seasoning blends in small amounts to stay fresh. For this recipe I used half of a 1.6 oz (1/2 cup) jar, which was a 1/4 cup measured.
IF MAKING YOUR OWN DRIED LEMON: I would use the zest from 4-5 lemons, spread it on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and dry in a 200°F oven, for about 15 minutes (keep your eyes on it), time may vary per oven, for more or less.
This is something I just used on my Baked Fish Sticks, I hope you give them a try too and dunk them in this amazing Tartar Sauce. 🙂 Enjoy!
