I'm so used to just use za'atar with bread or bread substitutes that it never occured to me to use it with meat or fish! When I browsed for za'atar recipes here on zaar to see if my own version is already posted I found a bunch of recipes using za'atar as a rub for fish or meat. So I decided to give this a try - and WOW! This is so simple, and yet so good! Made it with my za'atar mix which I just posted and enjoyed it very much! Thanks for this great idea!
