During the spring months, we savor the fragrant bounty of culinary herbs like rosemary, cilantro, oregano, basil, parsley, thyme, mint, dill, and other delights. While equally delicious as their fresh counterparts, it’s important to note that dried herbs feature a more concentrated flavor. “Each tablespoon of fresh herbs called for in a recipe can be swapped with one teaspoon of dried herbs,” according to Masterclass, but feel free to experiment! Dried herbs have some wonderful perks, such as convenience, a longer shelf-life, and unique flavor profiles when blended together in a gourmet seasoning. Here are a few fabulous options from Olive Lucy for your springtime menu.
Bristol Bay Salmon Seasoning
Our Bristol Bay Salmon Seasoning combines cilantro and basil with Pacific Ocean sea salt, toasted sesame seeds, toasted minced onion, orange peel, ginger, lemon, and black pepper. Pair it with a little of our refreshing Lemon Infused Olive Oil or Fused Orange Olive Oil when baking, grilling, or pan searing fresh salmon, for an extra punch of citrus zest.
Chermoula Seasoning
Our Chermoula Seasoning is hand blended with spearmint, cilantro, smoked sweet paprika, coriander, onion, black pepper, garlic, cayenne, ajwain, lemon peel, and sea salt. Traditionally used in Moroccan cooking, this flavorful blend is ideal for chicken, fish, meat kebabs, grilled and roasted vegetables, pasta, rice, and couscous.
Corn on the Cob Seasoning
Spring kicks off corn season, and our salty, smoky Corn on the Cob Seasoning is a must-have, whether dining at home or at an outdoor picnic. Simply drizzle sweet corn on the cob with Butter Olive Oil or one of our traditional extra virgin olive oils, and sprinkle on the perfect mix of smoked hickory salt, sea salt, orange zest, black pepper, and smoked sweet paprika.
Lemon Pepper Seasoning
Blended by hand with thyme, lemon, black pepper, minced onion, and coriander, our gourmet Lemon Pepper Seasoning is not only a springtime staple but also a step above most other Lemon Peppers. Naturally lemony, peppery, and subtly herbal, this salt-free seasoning is great for meats, seafood, avocados, and tofu, and it also adds a nice kick of citrusy flavor to a salad of mixed spring greens and our Classic Olive Lucy Vinaigrette.
Pacific Northwest Seafood Seasoning
Our Pacific Northwest Seafood Seasoning features the unmistakable flavor of roasted garlic up front, with dill, parsley, and hints of minced onion, paprika, black pepper, celery seed, sea salt, and lemon peel. It’s a great go-to for seasoning a wide variety of fish and seafood, caught fresh or found at your local market.
Za’atar
Typically whisked with olive oil or generously sprinkled over hummus as a dip for pita bread, this dynamic, incredibly versatile Israeli seasoning also pairs beautifully with chicken, fish, and roasted vegetables. Our flavorful, hand blended Za’atar includes thyme, sesame seeds, coriander, sumac, cumin, black pepper, and salt.
