Summer cooking

I recently picked up some citrus sea salt, and have no idea what to do with it.
I imagine I could season some sort of fish with it, but don't really have a great idea of what would taste good. I'm an intermediate level cook with not a lot of out of the box experience.

Use it on anything savory that you would think to add citrus to.
Summer salads into which you might put orange sections, for instance. Make it into a rub for pork. Rim your margheritas with it. Add it to salsa or guacamole(?)

Maybe try some sprinkled on fresh cut watermelon or over cucumber slices.

I have lemon salt and I use it pretty exclusively on steaks right before eating. I use regular salt for pre-cooked coming-to-room-temp period.

I personally would only add it to things where you would experience the salt texture, since I'm cheap like that and would just add citrus to things if I wanted citrus in it. So sprinkling on meats and cucumbers/watermelon is a good idea (and I'd add tomatoes/corn to that list).
Lemon sugar cookies with a teeny tiny bit of salt added to the sugar that you roll them in before baking.
Mixed into the breading for chicken or pork, or into a rub.
Sprinkled on bland things to give them a bit of brightness (baked potatoes and french fries would be good).
If you really do like fish, then google "salt crusted fish".

I just saw a pin on Pinterest that said to put watermelon slices in a baking pan, pour a shot of tequila on each, then after they've soaked a bit sprinkle them with salt.
That is exactly what I'd do with citrus sea salt.
