I saw this about a year ago in Sunset magazine. What a great idea! Give people homemade seasoned salt to use in everything from cooking to baths. I love it on chicken and fish and it looks stunning.
1 cup flake salt, such as Maldon, or coarse salt
3 tablespoons citrus zest (any kind), lemon, lime, grapefruit, or orange
Mix salt and zest in a bowl; work zest into salt with your fingers to release oils and flavor. Spread on a baking tray. Air-dry until dried completely, 8 hours to overnight.
Note: Zest’s color will fade over time, but this won’t affect taste.
Make ahead: 2 months, kept airtight at room temperature.
Bottle it: 4-oz. jam glass jar, $0.57; specialtybottle.com; BambooImportsMN 3.5-in. oval bamboo spice/salt spoons, $9.8 8/10; amazon.com
I echo the statement “What a great idea!” These are perfect as a finishing salt to add an extra zing to fish. Love the way they are packaged…perfect hostess gift. Elizabeth, invite me to dinner and I will bring you an assortment beautifully packaged!
What a lovely recipe!! This is perfect for fish. I use Infinity Jars for storing the salt as is they are airtight and keeps everything fresh. Thanks for the recipe. https://infinityjars.com/collections/screw-top-jars
