That sous chef told me to stop over-seasoning my fish 2 years ago and I finally listened

I was pan-searing salmon at the restaurant in Portland and she just watched me salt it like 4 times. She said "bro you're killing the flavor, the fish tastes like salt" and I got defensive but tried it her way the next day. I cut the salt by half and let the natural taste come through plus a little lemon zest. Now I get way less complaints about stuff being too salty, has anyone else had to unlearn a bad habit from culinary school?

Read in a food science book that salt actually masks more delicate flavors, crazy how that works.

At this rate you're gonna season your way onto a salt lick sponsorship.
