I've posted about this before. I had to severely cut my salt intake when I went on dialysis, so I've been through quite a few things.

Aside from avoiding restaurant food and processed foods:

More spice and herbs on whatever you're cooking. If you like spicy food, heat can cover lack of salt.

Skip the salt substitutes. They're terrible.

Best thing I've found: More acid. Use more vinegar, lemon, lime, etc. Acid mimics salt on food and stimulates the salivary glands.
