Hi Tony,

thanks for your question. I use about 1 ½ tablespoons of honey and 1 tablespoon of coarse Kosher salt.
If you use fine salt you should reduce the amount to about 1/2 of a tablespoon.
I think it needs that amount of salt, but this is for sure up to your taste to use less or more.

I hope you will give the recipe a try, it is very easy to make and super yummy.

Guten Appetit!
