Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
    Measure the Ingredients
    1. Measure every spice carefully using measuring spoons. Accurate amounts create a balanced seasoning. Place all the ingredients into a clean mixing bowl before stirring.
    Mix Everything Together
    1. Use a whisk or spoon to combine all the spices thoroughly. Continue mixing until every ingredient is evenly distributed and no clumps remain.
    Taste and Adjust
    1. Taste a tiny pinch if desired. Add more black pepper for stronger flavor or extra paprika for additional smoky taste. Adjust the seasoning to suit your preference.
    Transfer to a Storage Jar
    1. Pour the finished seasoning into a clean airtight spice jar. A small funnel makes this step easier and prevents the seasoning from spilling.
    Season Your Food
    1. Pat the fish or chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over all sides and gently press it onto the surface before cooking.
    Cook and Enjoy
    1. Grill, bake, roast, or pan-sear your seasoned food until fully cooked. Let meats rest for a few minutes before serving to keep them juicy.
