LEMON AND DILL SEASONING FOR FISH AND VEGETABLES
My simple flavor-enhancing seasoning doesn't overpower the natural flavors of fresh fish or vegetables. It can also be used for seasoned rice or rice pilaf (recipes below). To further compliment the flavors of fish, coat first lightly with olive oil, use seasoning -- add a small pinch of dried tarragon or crushed rosemary -- then cook as desired.

Steps:
- COMBINE all ingredients into a small container and shake well.
- STORE tightly sealed in a cool, dry place and shake well before using.
- SPRINKLE over fresh fish before baking, broiling, grilling or steaming, or over fresh vegetables before steaming.
- SUGGESTION TO FURTHER ENHANCE SEASONED FISH: Coat first lightly with olive oil before seasoning. Add a small pinch of dried tarragon or crushed rosemary, then cook as desired.
- TO PREPARE SEASONED RICE: Use 1 1/2 teaspoons Lemon and Dill Seasoning with each 1 cup water used for steaming rice. Or, you can use a portion of bouillon with water (2 cups water + 1 cup rice + 1 1/2 teaspoons Lemon and Dill Seasoning + 1 cube or teaspoon bouillon). To further compliment fish and seafood dishes add 1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon. Bring to a boil over stovetop for one minute. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork. Serves 4.
- TO PREPARE SEASONED RICE PILAF: Saute 1 tablespoon of 3/4-inch broken spaghetti or orzo pasta with 1 tablespoon slivered almonds in 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil until golden. Add 2 cups low-sodium broth, 1 1/2 teaspoons Lemon and Dill Seasoning, 1 cup rice, and 1 teaspoon capers if desired. Bring to a boil over stovetop for one minute. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork. For Greek-style pilaf add a pinch each dried crushed mint and oregano before boiling, then fluff rice with 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese after steaming. Serves 4.

Tips:
- To make the best lemon dill seasoning, use fresh herbs and a good quality lemon. Fresh dill has a more vibrant flavor than dried dill, and a fresh lemon will provide more tartness and acidity to the seasoning.
- The ratio of lemon zest to dill in this recipe is 1:1, but you can adjust it to your liking. If you want a more lemony flavor, add more zest. If you want a more dilly flavor, add more dill.
- Lemon dill seasoning is very versatile. It can be used on fish, vegetables, poultry, and even salads. It's also a great addition to soups, stews, and dips.
- If you don't have fresh dill on hand, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried dill instead. However, fresh dill is always the best choice for the best flavor.
- You can also add other herbs to this seasoning blend, such as parsley, thyme, or rosemary. Just be sure to use them in moderation so that they don't overpower the lemon and dill.
Conclusion:
Lemon dill seasoning is a bright and flavorful blend that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be stored in an airtight container for up to six months. So next time you're looking for a way to add some extra flavor to your food, reach for lemon dill seasoning. You won't be disappointed!
