Smoked salt is a type of salt that has been infused with smoke from burning wood. This process gives the salt a unique flavor profile, enhancing the taste of various dishes. It can be made from different types of salt, such as sea salt or Himalayan salt, and the choice of wood used for smoking can influence the final flavor, with options like hickory, mesquite, or applewood. Commonly used as a finishing salt, smoked salt can be sprinkled on meats, vegetables, or even popcorn to add a smoky depth. It is popular in barbecue cuisine and can also be used in marinades and rubs to impart a rich, smoky taste to grilled foods.
