Spread sriracha salt mixture on a microwave-safe dinner plate, a paper plate works best, and spread evenly. Microwave 1 minute at a time, stirring every 60 seconds with a fork, for 5 minutes total. The salt mixture will continue to dry as it cooks. Stir and fluff with a fork. Let cool and dry for several hours on counter or overnight.

For all of this recipe (don’t use table salt), use a flaky, coarse salt like Kosher Sea Salt (cheapest), Maldon, or Fleur de Sel. Recipe adapted from Cook’s Illustrated Magazine - April 2017
I have made all but the Pinot salt and really enjoy how they upgrade the taste of everyday foods without much effort. Now that I have tried almost all of them I am going to make a batch of these up and give them as a gift set. Your photos above inspired that smart idea, so thank you for making my life easier!
