Homemade Lemon Pepper seasoning is so much nicer than the store bought version, it contains no preservatives, is low carb and keto friendly too!
It’s very simple to make Lemon Pepper from scratch and this recipe will make enough lemon pepper to cover about 4 small salmon steaks, or 4 medium sized pieces of chicken.
How to Make Homemade Lemon Pepper Seasoning
Start by zesting the lemons, I prefer to use you a citrus zester as I think that’s the best way, but a small grater will work too.

Next, measure your salt, pepper, onion and garlic powders together, stir well, then add the lemon zest.
If you are not planning on using your lemon pepper right away you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. It will not keep for long as the fresh zest has not been dried out or preserved in any way.
