DIANNE'S FISH SEASONING
I wanted a really easy way to fix fish, so I came up with this recipe. Just mix it up and store in your pantry. Season fish, then either bake or grill. I like to mix it with a little olive oil and spread over salmon filets, then bake it in the oven. This blend of herbs goes really well with fish, yet does not overpower it.

BASIC FISH CURE (BBQ RUB)
This is a rub to use on fish prior to grilling or smoking. Recipe from Steven Raichlen's How to Grill cookbook. He says feel free to use different kinds of sugars such as white, turbinado or maple sugar instead of brown. He also says you can add any additional herb or spice you may fancy. Use 3/4 cup of rub per pound of fish.

SMOKED FISH DRY RUB
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Mix equal parts (for this recipe two cups each) white sugar, brown sugar, and kosher salt. This exact salt is important! Do not try to substitute other salt types. Add fresh coarsely ground black pepper, crumbled bay leaf, and chopped garlic. Put a thin layer of the dry rub on the bottom of a pan. Put fish in pan and thoroughly cover each filet. For larger amounts, the fish can be stacked one on top of the other, with adequate rub between the layers, completely covered. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. This time is important. Remove, rinse thoroughly, pat dry, and smoke as usual.

Tips:
- Use fresh fish: The fresher the fish, the better the results will be. Try to use fish that has been caught within the last 24 hours.
- Choose the right fish: Not all fish are suitable for dry rubbing. Some fish, such as salmon and trout, have a delicate flavor that can be easily overpowered by a dry rub. Other fish, such as tuna and swordfish, have a strong flavor that can stand up to a bold dry rub.
- Keep it simple: A basic dry rub is all you need to enhance the flavor of fish. Don't go overboard with the ingredients, or you'll end up with a rub that is too salty or spicy.
- Use a light touch: When applying the dry rub, use a light touch. You don't want to rub the fish too hard, or you'll end up with a dry, tough texture.
- Let the fish rest: After you've applied the dry rub, let the fish rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will give the rub time to penetrate the fish and develop its flavor.
- Cook the fish properly: The best way to cook fish is to grill, roast, or pan-fry it. Avoid boiling or steaming the fish, as this will result in a bland, watery flavor.
Conclusion:
Dry rubbing is a simple and effective way to add flavor to fish. By following these tips, you can create a delicious dry rub that will enhance the natural flavor of your fish. Experiment with different ingredients and techniques to find the perfect dry rub for your favorite fish dishes.
