A serving of lasagna contains 1500 mg of sodium. 10g of table salt is two teaspoons which is more than I use in 6-8 quarts of chili. Which is about 3-4 servings, so roughly 900-1100 mg per serving. You're going to add a lot less than 10g to most food. The first recipe for lasagna that I find calls for 6 grams of salt, and that's for two pounds of lasagna.
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.
