This spice mix is superb! I actually use it so much I made a large amount of it and keep it in a jar in my spice cabinet. I did some variations on this since I made it on the grill and I think all fish needs garlic. I melt the butter in the microwave along with a glove of garlic and some parsley. I sprinkle the spices generously on the snapper and then baste with the butter mixture at least twice while it's on the grill. Absolutely WONDERFUL! Garlicy, spicy, and buttery. I use this a lot on sea bass fillets as well. Thank you!

Great rub! We used this on some mahi mahi while on vacation in Florida last week and it was delicious! We made a half recipe...significantly cut down on the butter (maybe about 2-3 tablespoons), added only about 1 tsp salt and left out the parsley since we didn't have it. It was really spicy and I love spicy, but I might cut down the cayenne just a bit next time. We'll definitely be trying this on some chicken at home! Thanks for posting...it was a hit!

Easy to make! I cut the recipe in half (well, the computer did all the work) and used it as more of a rub. My husband put the fillets on the grill in a basket and they were delicious. I did add some olive oil to the butter- just because I always have to be different. Definately will try this again- probably will be good on grouper too.

This recipe is truly delicious and, since making it, I cannot live without having the spice mix on hand. I have also used it on meat and chicken; excellent on both. Last night I used a scant teaspoon of melted butter rubbed on the meaty side of a salmon fillet, added a bit of lemon zest to the spices, sprinkled liberally on top and baked at 400*; moist, delicious, colorful and flavorful, yet very healthy and low in fat. Any of a number of sauces would go well on this. Next time I do the spices, I'm making a triple batch!
