I have no knowledge of any relevant religious rulings with respect to
salt -- perhaps someone else knows?

I suspect that the iodine is the primary offender in using salt for
coating or for brining.  The coarseness of the Kosher salt may be an
additional bonus in the coating application -- but irrelevant in
brining.

Long time ago, we spent a week in a hotel on the Mediterranean.  The
town water was pumped from it -- and it was brown and salty.  So much
for "suspended organic materials".
