Sea salt

The Hidden Table ยท 2026-09-09

Sea salt

Sea salt is crystallized from seawater. Its crystal size changes how quickly it dissolves and how much fits in a spoon; salt by weight for repeatable seasoning.

Caribbean uses

It seasons Caribbean rice, beans, fish and vegetable dishes. Dissolve fine salt in sauces; reserve larger crystals for surfaces where a distinct salty bite is welcome.

Preparation and storage

Keep dry and covered. Taste stocks, cheese and salted fish before adding more salt; their existing seasoning counts toward the dish.

Recipe

Sea salt: tomato and lime salad

4 side portions

Ingredients

  • 400 g ripe tomatoes, sliced
  • 15 ml olive oil
  • 15 ml lime juice
  • 1 g Sea salt

Method

  1. Arrange tomatoes on a shallow plate.
  2. Mix oil and lime and spoon over the tomatoes.
  3. Add the salt immediately before serving; use less if another accompaniment is already salty.

At the table

Accurate seasoning lets the sweetness of vegetables and the aroma of herbs become clearer.
