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.
LEMON BUTTER ROASTED VEGETABLES WITH SAUSAGE (SHEET PAN)
I love the simplicity of sheet pan recipes. They are usually a snap to make, can be easily adjusted as to quantity, and roasting is such a great way to treat vegetables in particular. I found this recipe on the Purewow website, modified it a bit. Clearly, you can use whatever vegetables you have handy or prefer. Longer cooking ones, like root vegetables, go in first, then the softer ones.

Steps:
- Note: I made this using 6 ounces of sausage, a combination of andouille and chicken with apple and gouda, and roughly half the quantity of vegetables, as I'm cooking just for myself. I had no zucchini or eggplant, but used the others and added a beet. The world of vegetables is available to use in this recipe.
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F In a small bowl, stir together the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic.
- 2. On a large baking sheet, arrange the carrots, radishes, bell pepper, and eggplant in an even layer. Drizzle about half of the lemon garlic butter over the vegetables and toss well to combine. Season with salt and pepper. (I sprayed the pan with a little olive oil).
- 3. Roast until the veggies are just tender, 15 to 17 minutes. Add the tomatoes, asparagus, zucchini and sausage. Drizzle the remaining lemon garlic butter over the mixture, and toss well to combine.
- 4. Roast until all the vegetables are very tender and the sausage has begun to brown, 17 to 20 minutes.
- Note: I got a little distracted and added more veggies to the pan than were called for. Leftovers are delicious, but you may want to gauge your quantities more carefully.

Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: Not all vegetables are created equal when it comes to lemon butter seasoning. Some, like asparagus, broccoli, and green beans, hold up well and absorb the flavors of the lemon butter sauce. Others, like leafy greens and root vegetables, may not be as suitable.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables will have the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy organic vegetables to avoid pesticides and herbicides.
- Cook the vegetables properly: Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp to retain their nutrients and flavor.
- Use a good quality lemon butter sauce: The lemon butter sauce is what really makes this dish special. Use a sauce that is made with fresh lemon juice and butter. You can also add herbs, spices, or other seasonings to taste.
- Serve the vegetables immediately: Lemon butter-seasoned vegetables are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are at their peak flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
Lemon butter-seasoned vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
