Smoked salt is a gourmet salt that is infused with a smoky flavor. When purchasing smoked salt, be sure to choose one that actually has been smoked with wood rather than treated with artificial smoke flavor. Artificial smoke flavor can have an unwanted bitter taste. Salts that have been smoked over wood fires can be used with many dishes to bring a distinctive, rich flavor to your dish. Smoked salt can be used as a rub for meats, as a garnish sprinkled over the dish or added to the rim of a drink, or in recipes where the smoky flavor will enhance the dish.
