If you have the time, brine the chops by dissolving 1/3 cup kosher salt and 1/3 cup sugar in 1 cup of water at a low boil. Add to 2 quarts ice water along with 2 bay leaves and 1 teaspoon black peppercorns. Add a few sprigs of dill and parsley to the brine bag and refrigerate overnight. Pat dry and bring chops to room temperature.
