Smoked Salt

Smoked salt is a gourmet seasoning that combines the mineral-rich essence of sea salt with the deep, smoky flavor imparted by slow smoking over wood chips such as hickory, mesquite, or applewood. This artisanal ingredient is characterized by its coarse texture and rich, earthy aroma, making it a perfect finishing touch for dishes that benefit from a bold, smoky profile. Smoked salt is often sought after by food enthusiasts looking to elevate their recipes with a natural, smoky depth without the need for liquid smoke or grilling.

Common Uses

  • Sprinkle smoked salt over grilled meats, such as steak or chicken, to enhance their smoky flavor profile without additional grilling.
  • Use smoked salt to season roasted vegetables like potatoes, carrots, or Brussels sprouts for a unique, savory twist.
  • Add a pinch of smoked salt to soups, stews, or chili to introduce a subtle smoky depth that complements hearty dishes.
  • Incorporate smoked salt into homemade rubs or marinades for barbecue recipes to amplify the smoky essence of the dish.
  • Finish dishes like scrambled eggs, avocado toast, or popcorn with smoked salt for a gourmet touch and a burst of flavor.
  • Mix smoked salt into dips, such as hummus or guacamole, to create a distinctive, smoky variation of classic recipes.

Storage Tips

Store smoked salt in an airtight container to preserve its smoky aroma and flavor. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, such as a pantry or cupboard. Avoid refrigeration, as it can introduce humidity that may cause clumping. For long-term storage, ensure the container is sealed tightly to prevent the salt from absorbing odors from other foods.
