Become A BBQ Legend With This Quick Guide To Using Gourmet BBQ Salts
Posted by The Saltbox on 10th Jan 2018
When BBQβing it is best not to skimp on the salt but save it for last! We like to sprinkle a finishing touch of salt just as the food comes off the grill. You'll get a stronger salt flavour (and a little texture too, if you choose a coarser grain) and your BBQ-prowess will rise to a whole new level!
1. Fish
Fish has been smoked for generations to preserve, however the flavour this gives should not be underestimated!
- Add our Extra Bold Smoked Salt to a Salmon steak before you cook it to add a tasty charcoal flavour
- For any white fish, finish plating your dish with some beautiful Cyprus Black Lava Flake and lemon
2. Meat
Intensify the flavours of meats on the grill with one of our natural smoked salts sprinkled on top after cooking:
- Applewood Smoked Salt for a sweet and smoky flavour... This salt is often paired with pork
- Hickory Smoked salt which is rich and hearty... This salt is often paired with chicken
- Mesquite Smoke salt for a deeper, brawny flavour... This salt is often paired with beef
- Or, the Extra Bold Smoked Sea Salt for a super-smoky and rugged bushfire flavour and aroma
3. Spice and Gourmet Flavours
If your grill gives enough smoke flavour, try a savoury or spice infused gourmet salt:
- Habanero infused salt has a great spicy, full flavoured hit that lingers
- Roasted Garlic and Toasted Onion salts add a richer and more savoury flavour
- Wild Porcini salt enhances the umami element of any dish
- Black Truffle for a gourmet dish!
4. Get Adventurous
If you have your own smoker and want to make your own smoked salt, we have Kosher salt which is perfect for this process. Itβs a light and flaky salt with no additives for a lovely pure smoke flavour. The flakes allow the smoke to penetrate the salt for great result.
Are you an experimental BBQ cook? Why not try BBQβing on the Himalayan Salt Block. Meats, seafood and veggies sear quickly and a tasty, thin salt crust forms on the food.
