Method

In an electric spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle, combine and process all of the ingredients until a fine powder results. Spread out on a plate and set aside. Lightly oil fish or meat then dip pieces in the rub and set aside for a minimum of 15 minutes to form the crust. Cook as desired, preferably pan searing or baking in the oven until done.
