The Hive’s Ultimate Sea Salt Blend

At the Hive, seasoning is never an afterthought — it’s where flavour begins. This ultimate sea salt blend is our quiet workhorse, used across fish, vegetables and meats to lift dishes from good to memorable with just a pinch.

Salt may be the most fundamental ingredient in cooking, but here we build on it with warmth from paprika and a gentle, savoury herbiness that perfumes food as it cooks. The result is a versatile, all-purpose seasoning that adds depth, balance and a subtle kick without overpowering the natural character of the ingredients. Once you start using it, you’ll find it earns a permanent spot by the stove.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp paprika

  • 1 tbsp mixed dried herbs

  • 100g sea salt

Method

  1. Add the paprika, mixed herbs and sea salt to a pestle and mortar.

  2. Grind together until evenly combined and lightly aromatic.

  3. Transfer to a small airtight jar.

Keep the blend close to the cooker and use it to season fish, roasted vegetables, meats or sauces whenever a dish needs an extra layer of flavour.

Our sea salt blend recipe can be found in our third cookbook along with over 200 seafood recipes and culinary tips and tricks.
