Well, scale it, obviously. 200g of tuna has 100mg of sodium. 1/4 teaspoon of salt (not an unreasonable amount for nearly a half pound of tuna) has almost 600mg.

That's fresh tuna, not canned. Substituting fresh tuna for canned is going to save you a lot more sodium than not sprinkling your tuna filet with salt is.

Another example is the salmon filet that I recently ate. A quarter teaspoon might be exaggerating, but let's say I did add 500-600 mg of sodium that way. If I had eaten a ham steak instead, that would have added 700-800 mg of sodium to my diet. Actually that's not completely accurate because the 1/4 teaspoon would have been for a pound of salmon, whereas I'm comparing 8 oz amounts here. I did overstate the case. You need to watch your sodium intake in seasonings as well. But the amount of sodium you get in food is more than you get from salt unless you just coat everything with salt.

Now that we have that sorted out, I’d like address the issue of putting ranch dressing on sushi:

Yeah, I don't care for ranch on anything.  YUCK

After watching a few videos the time consumption from cooking the rice properly, and that is a learned technique over time, and learning how to slice the raw fish properly, I think I will simply stick to just the slices of raw fish with no rice.

I’m also eating healthier. Just yesterday, I made poultry cutlets dredged in wheat powder and boiled in olive juice.

There is a commercial for hot sauce, and it ends with the guy saying "I put that S##t"(sound effect bleeps the full word out), "I put that S##t on everything."

If you mix it with a little Dijon mustard and mayo, you get a spicy mix that is close to wasabi, but not as intense. 

I also put ranch on my steaks.

Just…whatever you do, don’t go to an authentic sushi restaurant and ask for ranch dressing instead of soy sauce. The sushi chef will kick you out onto the street himself. 😛
