So, when I put salt on a piece of fish, or any piece of meat for that matter, I'm always a little bit higher in the sky because I like to make sure my salt gets spread. I don't like to just go like this because that's too much salt in one area, and I'm afraid the rest is not going to get it. When you sprinkle from high above, you have a much better tendency to get the whole piece of salmon, to have a beautiful spread, evenly of salt.
