Optimize use of seasoning in salty food
Crickey, where to begin.  Firstly there is a great article here which will put things far more eloquently than I can.  However, everyone is different.  I assume that you are cooking for yourself/friends/family, and not in a professional setting.  Salt brings out flavors, and unless you actually want to taste salt (for example, crisps), then it should be used solely for that purpose.  I think that maybe you should start using a touch more salt, and go back to your original recipe's other seasoning amounts.  This should help balance things out.  Like a lot of cooking, it is a case of try and try again until you get it right (for you).  have fun!
