Place salmon in a shallow dish or pan. Cover with water, adding 1 tablespoon of kosher salt for every cup of water. Place in refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
Remove salmon from the brine. Rinse and pat dry. Place salmon on rimmed baking sheet. Prepare salmon according to your recipe directions.
Notes
You can leave the brine overnight but most people report a very salty flavor. Rinse it well before using.
