Salt as a verb

Hi

Does salt as a verb sound natural in everyday English? Any suggestions please?

I didn't salt the curry much.

It seems you oversalted the omelet.

Thanks,

Tom

I mainly associate the verb "salt" with "salting the land" or "salting the earth." This was purported to be a revenge enacted on the Carthaginians by the Romans after Hannibal's defeat.

"oversalted" is OK. It ruins an otherwise delicious soup.
