Can someone please explain the cooking method of this recipe of eggplant "steaks"? i'm confused?

If you mean by the first step to sprinkle with salt and place in a bowl...then this is a crucial step because the eggplant skin can be very bitter..what I would change about the first step is sprinkle each slice with salt and place the them in a colander (the bitter water will drain out) and then rinse well and pat dry. Since the recipe refers them to eggplant steaks cut them fairly thick...sounds like a good recipe...enjoy
