This is really easy to put together - even ahead of time, in bulk, for later use, as a shaker for fish. Very tasty. I used it on baked tilapia, added a little lime juice on top. Terrific! For small fillets or salmon strips, I used a little maple syrup instead of brn. sugar & that was nice too. Thanks, Jango for a nice way to like fish more often.
