Dry brine the pork

Place a plate over a scale and note the weight of the pork. In a small bowl weigh out 1% salt by weight (ex. 13 g of salt for a 1.3 kg [~3 lb] piece of pork). Place the pork on a baking sheet and sprinkle the salt over all sides of the pork until coated. Set the baking sheet uncovered into the fridge and let it dry brine overnight.
