smoked salt
Fire-cured mineral crystals
Smoked salt is salt that has been infused with smoke flavor, typically by exposure to wood smoke over several hours.
It adds a smoky depth to dishes without actual smoking: A pinch of smoked salt transformed the simple roasted vegetables.
Different woods—hickory, applewood, mesquite—produce distinct flavor profiles.
