Description
Lemon salt, also known as lemon seasoning or lemon pepper, is a tangy and aromatic condiment that combines the zesty flavor of lemons with the savory taste of salt. It is widely used in cooking and as a table seasoning to add a refreshing and citrusy twist to a variety of dishes. The primary ingredients of lemon salt are lemon zest and salt. Lemon zest is the outermost layer of the lemon peel, which contains the concentrated citrus oils responsible for its bright, tangy flavor. The zest is dried and combined with salt, typically in a 1:1 ratio, to create lemon salt. Some variations may also include additional spices or herbs like black pepper, garlic, or dried herbs to enhance the flavor profile. Lemon salt offers a unique combination of salty, sour, and slightly sweet flavors. It has a strong citrus aroma that instantly uplifts the senses. When used in cooking, lemon salt adds a burst of tanginess to dishes without being overpowering. It works well with a wide range of ingredients, including poultry, fish, vegetables, salads, and even snacks like popcorn or potato chips. As a seasoning, lemon salt can be sprinkled directly on food before or after cooking. It can be used to enhance the flavor of grilled or roasted meats, added to marinades or dressings, or simply used as a finishing touch to bring a fresh and vibrant element to your meals.
