Herbed Seasoned Sea Salt

As a first recipe of the new year, I thought I would share something I use all year long – my Herbed Seasoned Sea Salt Blend. A seasoned sea salt adds that something special to a savory dish – a subtle deliciousness that can elevate a dish to something special and very delicious.

If you follow me you know that I love Herbamare – available at health food stores, many grocery stores and sometimes at Costco, so I experimented and made my own. Herbamare has different ingredients in it so I use either my own blend or Herbamare in different dishes depending on which I feel would work best.

It’s simple to make Herbed Seasoned Sea Salt – you can adjust the amounts of one herb or another to suit your taste.  And you can adjust the amount of salt, which is, for me, the most important part.  As we know, salt is one of the foundations of flavour, yet I do not like to salt my recipes and food too heavily. I prefer to season with herbs and spices, so as much as there is salt in my seasoned sea salt mix, it’s reduced greatly from commercial mixes.  Another benefit to making your own is that it allows you to use the freshest dried herbs, organic when you can find them (health food stores are a good source) so you know the goodness you are seasoning your food and nourishing your body with.

As always, when you make this recipe, I would love to see your creation so please post a photo of your Herbed Seasoned Sea Salt goodness and tag my IG account #RenataCollective or leave a comment with your thoughts!

Prep Time: 5 minutes / Makes: Just shy of 1 cup

Ingredients

  • 1/3 to ½ Cup Fine Grind Sea Salt

  • ¼ Cup Dried Parsley

  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder

  • 2 teaspoons Onion Powder

  • 1 teaspoon Dried Basil

  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano

  • 1 teaspoon Ground Rosemary

  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme

  • 1 teaspoon Dried Marjoram

  • ½ teaspoon Ground Sage

  • ½ teaspoon Celery Salt

  • 1/8 teaspoon Chili Powder

How Its Made

  • Start with 1/3 cup of sea salt. Measure the other ingredients and add them all to a food processor.

  • Whirl until smooth and blended well.  

  • Test the taste to see if it’s enough salt for you – or leave it at the 1/3 cup and add a pinch or two more of plain sea salt when you are cooking, as different savory dishes call for more or less salt.

  • Keep your Herbed Seasoning Sea Salt Blend in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and use it where savory recipes call for sea salt. 

Enjoy!
