I am on a salt restricted diet for my heart. I noticed recently the my jar says lemon pepper seasoning salt. Is there a lemon pepper without salt, or a recipe so I can make my own. I can sure use your help here.

You can make your own lemon pepper quite easily. Using a micro-planer, zest one or two lemons, taking off just the yellow part and leaving behind the white pith. You can grind your pepper directly on to the fresh zest and then set the pan aside to dry.
I have a gas oven and just slide the pan in there (without the heat on) and it's dry in less than a day. When everything is bone dry, you can grind it in a pestle (I use my magic bullet). It has a wonderful smell and is so fresh.
McCormick seasoning has a salt free lemon pepper. I use it all the time
Try Mrs Dash, it's very good.
There is a whole line of salt free (and sugar free and gluten free) seasonings by Chef Paul Prudhomme. Including lemon pepper! Everything I have tried from this company is very good, and is found in the spice section of most good-size groceries. I believe they are called Chef Paul Prudhomme's "Magic" blends and they have a picture of a smiling bearded man on the front... he looks sort of like Dom DeLuise.
