Other than citrus juice and hot sauce, what are your easy tips for adding flavor to low-soduim foods?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) January 25th, 2016

I’m a pescatarian (semi-vegetarians that focus on a plant-based diet with the inclusion of fish) and I’m trying to eat healthier. Lower calorie vegetable dishes and soups (some pre-packaged) that are low in fat (no problem) and salt (problem). I incorporate seafood into my diet less than once a week, on average.

How do I get around the food being tasteless and bland?
I use the heck out of lemon and lime juice (if you’ve not tried the powdered packets, they’re great!).
I love hot sauces, especially Cholula Chipotle or Chili Lime.
I use the heck out of roasted garlic powder, granulated garlic, chopped dried garlic and pressed fresh garlic.
Indian curry satisfies me, but I’m not sure about the sodium content and I don’t cook it at home, from scratch.
The salt I do add is usually Himalayan Pink Sea Salt from a grinder. I know salt’s salt, but the course grind seems more satisfying.

Any other tips that satisfy your salt tooth without dumping on the salt?
