How to measure table salt
Fine table salt is dense: 1 teaspoon weighs about 6 grams. Kosher and flaky salts are much lighter per spoon, so don't swap them spoon for spoon.
In the UK, table salt is also called fine salt.
Weights are for US customary cups (236.6 ml), measured as described above. Measuring style changes weight a lot, so for baking, a digital scale gives the most reliable results.
