Learning to Cook without Salt

Since I've started to cook on a more regular basis, the decision to cook with NO salt has been made.  Quelle Horreur!  Though, in truth, it really isn't that bad. 

Try my simple fish dish at home in a skillet/pan:

Marinate 2 filets of tilapia, or any non-fatty white fish i.e. snapper, in lime.  10 minutes each side.
Then, sear the fish 2 minutes on each side and set aside.  In a skillet, brown onion crescents in oil and fresh cut garlic.  Once onions are browned, dump one 28-ounce can of diced tomatoes (you can of course use the same amount of fresh tomatoes), 1 bay leaf, 1 teaspoon of thyme, 1 teaspoon of rosemary, and let simmer 4-5 minutes.  Place fish in skillet and let cook 4 minutes each side in tomato sauce and voila!  A tasty fish without the use of any salt!

 Total expense: $14.14 not including the spices which I already had
