Lemon pepper seasoning salt as it is available in South Africa

Lemon pepper is a spice mix made from crushed peppercorns and granulated lemon peel. It is not to be confused with the Indonesian lemon pepper Zanthoxylum acanthopodium, a variety of the Szechuan pepper .

During production, the peppercorns and lemon peel are mixed together so that the pepper absorbs the citrus oil, then the mixture is baked and dried and can then be used as a condiment. Commercially available lemon pepper is usually not such a spice mixture, but a seasoning salt that contains salt as the main ingredient in addition to pepper and lemon and often other additives such as garlic, herbal mixtures, sugar, glutamate, turmeric, aroma and the like. You can also make lemon pepper yourself.

Originally it was mainly used to season fish dishes, but it also goes well with chicken, salads, potatoes and tomatoes.
