The second taste comes after the stir

A seasoning adjustment needs time to reach the whole pan. Tasting the same corner immediately after adding lemon or salt may lead to another addition before the first has spread. A thorough stir and a fresh clean spoon make the result easier to judge.
Take a small sample and let it cool enough to taste comfortably. Notice what is missing before changing anything. Perhaps a finishing herb or salty ingredient has not been added yet. Work through the intended method before treating the pan as a blank canvas.
Add a modest amount, stir and sample again. A mild base with suitable additions offered separately can give several people choices. Check allergens in those additions and identify them. Keep flavour judgement separate from storage judgement: a pleasant taste cannot prove a use-by deadline or unsafe cooling history harmless. Record a useful change for this recipe rather than making it a rule for every dish.
