Clarified butter/ghee from Salted Butter?

Has anyone made clarified butter or ghee from salted Kerrygold instead of unsalted? Neither my husband nor I like unsalted butter.... so i'd like to try it with salted but if there's a specific reason not to, then I won't.

I haven't tried it but I believe the reason recipes call for unsalted is that once it's clarified, it's concentrated, so it's saltier tasting than just salted butter.

Maybe you could use unsalted butter but add salt to it? I've never tried it, but I don't see why you couldn't dissolve the salt into the melted butter before you strain it. I did make the Better Butter recipe in one of the Well Fed cookbooks once that flavors the butter with spices before straining and it worked well.
