If you’re not sure about how much salt a dish needs, instead of salting the entire pot and risk oversalting it, put a little of what you’re cooking into a small bowl, add some salt, and see how it changes the flavour. That way you can add salt slowly and carefully without risking the whole dish. Keep bowls of ingredients like limes and lemons on your counter next to sea salt. While you’re testing a recipe, you don’t have to go scrambling for inspiration if you want to add that extra burst of flavour.
