Wash the watermelon rind, cut the melon lengthwise, and then slice it into 1 1/4 inch thick wedges. Trim off and discard the rind. Salt the prepared watermelon and allow it to rest on a wire rack with paper towels placed underneath for approximately 20 minutes. After this time, rinse off the salt on all the surfaces of the melon pieces making sure you have removed it all, you do not want to taste the salt, and firmly pat them dry with clean paper towels. Brush the watermelon pieces all over with the olive oil. Place them on a preheated grill over medium-high heat and cook them for 3 minutes on each side, until grill marks appear. Do not place on a too hot grill or the watermelon will simply scorch rather than heating through and taking on the smoked flavor (the reason for preparing this dish). Serve the grilled watermelon immediately to your guests or use in some of the suggestions below. Whichever you choose, you will be making this dish over and over.
