I also think it's the salt.

I tried to duplicate Popeye's red beans and rice for a while. I kept
doctoring it with this and that. It rapidly got to the point where I
was adding more and more salt and it finally started to approach what I
had at Popeye's. I added as much salt as I would dare and it seemed
like I would more than double that amount ot get there. Vast quanties
of salt.
