Citrus juices are fairly acidic, which means they
permeate and tenderize food quickly. They work great
as a base for marinades that you want to throw
together just before dinner. These marinades work
equally well for seafood as they do chicken or steak.
For seafood, marinate for up to 30 minutes; chicken
and steak can handle up to 2 hours.

steak or shrimp.

tablespoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1

haddock or chicken breasts.
— LEMON-HERB- Juice and zest of 1 lemon, 1
