Kosher salt is no different to ordinary sea salt, despite the common belief amongst some gentiles (non-Jews) that to become kosher food must be blessed in some way.
Amongst the many laws related to which foods are kosher and which are treif (not kosher) is one stating that Jews must not consume blood. Once an animal has been killed according to shechita - the laws governing animal slaughter - all blood must be removed from the meat which is done by soaking it up with kosher salt.
Some people refer to it as koshering salt, which would be a slightly more accurate term.
