I did also think it would speed up the defrosting process but didn't know if it would...eat through the fish for whatever reason. I did have the fish fresh at first and plans didn't work out so I ended up freezing it unfortunately.
Not really a good idea. The salt will slow down the defrosting. It's better to allow it to completely defrost, pat dry with a towel and then coat with salt. Fresh salmon is much better for this.
My gut reaction was that I didn't like this idea much, but I was thinking of how salt would speed up defrosting! (Freezing point depression to chemists;think salting roads and sidewalks to melt ice in the winter for the rest of us.). My thought was that it could make a bit of a mess, but I'm not totally convinced it wouldn't have a good end result.
