"It feels odd to tell someone not to season their food before cooking. But there are many scenarios where a saltwater solution or 'Salmuera' is a more effective technique. Argentinians are legendary for live-fire cooking, and their national sauce is chimichurri, which is technically a salmuera with oregano.
A salmuera is perfect for penetrating and covering all of the surface areas of skewers as they grill. Salmuera is also ideal for basting large cuts of meat with long cook times. You'll be amazed how well this sauce seasons your food compared to sprinkling salt beforehand."
