Low Sodium Seasonings

Lower the sodium content from 2200 mg per teaspoon to 285 mg by mixing your salt with other spices.  Here are two ideas to try (I can’t give proper credit for these recipes because I wrote them down in my cookbook too long ago.

For fish dishes:

1 tsp dill

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp parsley

1/2 tsp celery seed

1/2 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp thyme

1/2 tsp salt

Mix together in empty spice jar.

For meat dishes:

4 Tblsp paprika

2 Tblsp onion powder

2 Tblsp garlic powder

1/2 Tblsp thyme

1/2 Tblsp salt

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

3/4 tsp black pepper

Mix in empty spice jar.  (I have tried this both on pork chops and chicken;  found it very tasty.)
