Note 1 topic: writing-poetry

בַּ⁠מֶּ֣לַח תִּמְלָח֒

in/on/at/with,salt season

Here, a verb and its object come from the same root. The phrase you shall salt translates a verb that is related to the noun translated salt. The repetition of related words adds emphasis to the statement. If your language can repeat words for emphasis and your language has comparable terms that you can use in your own translation, it would be appropriate to use that construction here in your translation.

תִּמְלָח֒

season

As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, Leviticus uses second-person singular forms in this verse and for the rest of the chapter. If you have been using second-person plural forms in your translation and switching to singular forms would not be natural in your language, you could continue to use plural forms in your translation. Alternatively, if you have been using third-person forms throughout, you could consider using these forms in your translation.

salt covenant God,your

When Leviticus speaks of the salt of the covenant of your God, given the parallel expression covenant of salt in Numbers 18:19, the implication seems to be that the use of salt on grain offerings should remind the Israelites of Yahweh's covenant, likely because of salt’s association with preservation and, by extension, permanence. You can indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “the salt that preserves food and so should remind you of the binding and permanent nature of God’s covenant with you”
