I'm comparing various recipes online before I make this for the first time in my new Harsch crock. Why so much salt?

Kim Chee is one of those dishes you either love or hate. There's no middle ground. If you love it, this is a pretty good recipe. If you don't, there's no good recipe on earth. I'm lucky, I like it. And my spouse let's me stay at home when I've eaten some.
