In theory, you salt halfway through because if you salt too early, the salt will draw moisture out of the chop, and depending on how thick it is, it might end up making the chop dry even if it’s not overcooked. In practice, salting immediately before cooking is unlikely to do any violence to a chop unless it’s exceptionally thin.
