INGREDIENTS
•
For the Spice Rub:
•
1 Tbl onion powder
•
1 Tbl garlic powder
•
1 Tbl paprika
•
1 Tbl kosher salt
•
1 Tbl freshly ground black pepper (I know that’s a lot of pepper to grind fresh, but do it anyway. It’s a major flavor component in this dish, and therefore you want the best possible taste.)
•
2 Tbl dried thyme
•
½ Tbl dried oregano
•
½ Tbl white sugar
•
½ Tbl cayenne pepper (if you like it really spicy, double this. Or more if you’re feeling brave. Or lucky.)
•
For the protein:
•
2-4 6 oz filets; fish or chicken, no more than ½ inch thick
•
1 cup of butter, melted and divided in half (If you’re using a skillet, you’ll need several additional tablespoons of butter).
•
2 tsp lemon juice, or 1 Tbl drained capers.
