This easy Lemon Herb Marinade can be whipped up in 10 minutes. Zesty herbs and simple ingredients work together to elevate chicken, fish or pork. Feel free to switch up the herbs you use in this Lemon Herb Marinade. For example, for a lemon-rosemary marinade, consider substituting parsley for the basil and rosemary for the thyme. A good rule of thumb when mixing up marinades is, for fish, chicken and pork, light herbal notes tend to work well. This lemon and herb marinade is not to be missed.
