Locating up a variety of herbs and spices for a quick evening meal might be more labor than the home cook is up for at the end of a long day. Luckily, it's not necessary to sacrifice flavor when throwing together a quick dinner. Just add a little flavored salt.
Salts infused with flavor are hugely helpful in creating a speedy meal since they offer two perks in one: When administered smartly), it naturally amplifies a dish's flavors, while the added element -- smoke, garlic or even bacon -- adds a little extra something to the equation.
Spice up eggs with a quick sprinkle of hot chili salt (or "meat" them up with bacon salt), add smoky flavor with alderwood or hickory smoked salt, or try vanilla salt on fish dishes. Start small until you know how the seasonings match up. Our fave? Garlic salt. Just a sprinkle makes sauteed veggies shine.
