    dry or wet?

    i have salt n sugar dry brined salmon but thats it. i cook up my wet brine with herbs and it does a great job of transferring the flavor. my ? for you "dry briners" is can the dry brine take the herb flavors deep in the meat like wet does? do you season meat first then salt sugar it to help this?
