Do you season burgers before or after?

Chef's answer
Season one side of the patty with salt and pepper right before you place it on the grill, seasoned side down. Before you flip the burger, season the other side. Think gentle when forming your burgers.

    Seasoning the fish too soon before cooking. When seasoned too soon before cooking, the salt will start to break down the proteins in the salmon and draw moisture out of the fish. Follow this tip: No matter the method of cooking, season the fish just before it hits the pan, goes in the oven, or onto the grill.
