OMG – Waaay too salty. Check that – seems like it should be a quarter of what is stated.
I am sorry that you did not enjoy it. Seasoning, especially salt is definitely subjective, the bacon you are using could have also been salt cured. However it is easy to adjust the salt to your personal tastes.
