    Excellent, great looking fish. Did you get your block from salt works? We have been thinking of ordering a couple. 
    Had an extraordinary meal at Apex Ski Resort a few years ago. They bring a piece of meat, (chicken breast, fillet mignon, pork tenderloin) out on a prep board, pre sliced to thin slices and then give you a hot rock (salt stone?) to cook it on. You lay the meat on the rock and take it off when you like the look of it. Kinda like fondu without the oil. The sizzle and smell was unreal.

    One of my favorite places to eat here does that on granite blocks its awesome. I'm expecting Santa to bring a salt block and this is gonna be my first cook.

    Looks terrific.  I've never eaten anything off of a salt block.  Sounds interesting.

    How is the cooking procedure when using the salt block? Does it need to heat up? It doesn't over salt? We received ome as a gift but have yet to use it.

    Zick, all you do is warm up your salt block in you Egg. Direct heat. Once the salt block is up to temp, put your steak, chop, etc. directly on the salt block and sear away until done! Couldn't be easier. You can also put it the freezer and use it as a serving platter for sushi. Just don't go from your freezer to your 500*F Egg. You'll have some kind of expensive rock salt!

    Ross, looks like you started your salmon with skin down and finished skin up, right?  My daughter gave me a salt block last fathers day.  My salmon came out pretty salty tasting and have not used the block since.  Think I'll give it another try.  Hate to admit it but thinking back, I may have salted my fish in the prep...duh!
