Default Seasonings you use instead of salt

My Mom and sister are both on low-salt diets. When I cook for them, I
try to use seasonings that will give the food the "sparkle" that salt
does. Sis is so traditional she doesn't like some of my variations,
but Mom seems to enjoy them, so I persevere.

I've been using cumin lately. It seems to work well on it's own
without salt. I've used lemon juice and crystals, and sometimes curry
or small amounts of various hot peppers. (Mom is not a spicy food
person.)

What do others use in place of salt?
