Hi Pan,
It really is difficult to deal with a low-salt restriction when dining out. Places where you can get grilled fish and meat would be where I’d aim. You might want to try Byblos, a moderately-priced Lebanese restaurant.
Since you will be doing a lot of cooking at home, I thought I’d recommend this cookbook: Craig Claiborne’s Gourmet Diet (Subtitle: 200 specially created, low-sodium, modified fat, modified cholesterol recipes by Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey). I bought it years ago because even though I didn’t need it for health reasons, I was a fan of anything Franey did and was very curious to see what he and Claiborne would do with those restrictions. Of course, they did a great job. The recipes are delicious, anything but boring, and you’ll never miss the salt. To this day, “Veal Balls with Chili-Tomato Sauce” (P. 132) remains an all-time favorite of mine and Mr. RBI.
Good luck! And do come back every so often to let us know how you are doing.
