Seasoning is the addition of spices, herbs, etc. to a meal you prepare. A delicious meal can turn into a disaster by incorrect seasoning. Here are some common seasoning mistakes that you should avoid:
The balance of salt
It is an everyday mistake to use the incorrect amount of salt in your cooking. Too little salt leaves your dish bland.
Too much salt destroys the other flavors in the dish. Follow the recipe when adding salt.
In-progress tasting
If you taste your dish as you’re preparing it, you can immediately rectify seasoning imbalances.

Timing is everything
When it comes to adding herbs to your dish, don’t leave it too late. Herbs need time to release their flavor as they cook into the dish.

It’s best to grind
Using freshly ground salt and pepper adds a different flavor to food. Don’t rely on pre-ground spices. Invest in salt and pepper grinders.
Use freshly ground spices for maximum flavor.

Don’t forget the lemon
Lemon adds zest to the flavor of a dish. It is essential for fish and seafood dishes. But consider adding it to vegetable and chicken dishes.
