GREEK HERB RUB FOR FISH



Greek Herb Rub for Fish image

Using this rub will add an outer coating of concentrated herbs and spices to your fish before cooking or grilling. It flavors the outside of the fish, and if left on long enough, it will permeate the outer layers, adding flavor to the inside as well. In general, spice rubs not only add flavor, but also seal in moisture, ensuring a flavorful, juicy entrée. This Greek rub is excellent rubbed on mild, white fish before broiling or grilling, or add it to oil for a dipping sauce.

Provided by Debbie R.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 5m

Yield 1 recipe

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons oregano
2 tablespoons dried mint
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Mix. Store in airtight container.
  • To use: put desired meat into a freezer bag. Add generous amount (like 1-2 tablespoons per chicken breast). Rub into meat well. You can then freeze and take out when desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: For Greek-style grilled meats, lamb, pork, and chicken are popular choices. Select cuts that have good marbling, as this will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful during grilling.
  • Prepare your marinade: A flavorful marinade is essential for tender, juicy grilled meats. Greek marinades typically include a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and thyme. You can also add other herbs and spices to your liking.
  • Marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the meat, the more flavor it will absorb. If you're short on time, you can marinate the meat for as little as 30 minutes, but for best results, marinate it for at least an hour or two.
  • Grill the meat over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the meat and keep it juicy on the inside. Be sure to preheat your grill before cooking and grease the grates to prevent the meat from sticking.
  • Cook the meat to your desired doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat to ensure that it is cooked to your liking. For beef, the recommended internal temperature is 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done. For pork, the recommended internal temperature is 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done. For chicken, the recommended internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit for fully cooked.
  • Let the meat rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Greek-style grilled meats are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can create tender, juicy, and flavorful grilled meats that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy meal, give Greek-style grilled meats a try.
