It makes me crazy to eat baked goods without enough salt. They are are either too sweet or bland. To my palette salted butter balances sweetness and enhances the flavor(precisely why we use salt at all) of the other ingredients like chocolate chip cookies that have a wonderful caramel flavor when you bite into it! And baked goods that aren't sweet, like fresh bread, don't need additional butter on top to make it palettable if there's adequate seasoning in the recipe. I use salted butter without exception(nice even distribution through your recipe!) but I don't use refined table salt when the recipe calls for salt. I use coarse sea salt, milder and more nutritious. It all works out in the end.
