HOW TO USE THIS LEMON HERB SEASONING

This lemon herb seasoning goes really well with almost anything, but especially well a few specific ingredients:

• Fish- I've already used this lemon herb seasoning on this Lemon Pepper Sheet Pan Salmon! Add in a few fresh lemon wedges and served with a dill yogurt sauce.

• Chicken- this lemon herb seasoning works perfectly just as a rub (sprinkle over your chicken prior to cooking). But for maximum flavor, I highly recommend mixing it with some olive oil and marinating your chicken for a few hours. Full instructions are in this post.

• Potatoes- Lemon herb roasted potatoes are a thing and they are seriously glorious. Add some fresh garlic for extra flavor. Maybe even a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and some feta cheese after cooking.

• Roasted vegetables- particularly asparagus, zucchini, cauliflower and green beans.
