Meats lose liquid as they cook, and will shrink to some extent whether salt is added or not. Using a lot of salt, especially when boiling or braising, can draw too much juice from meat and so dry it out too much. But a sprinkling of salt on the surface of burgers or steaks won't cause more shrinking.

Why adding salt can reduce the amount of water in meat?
Adding salt to meat causes a process called osmosis, where water moves out of the meat cells to balance the concentration of salt inside and outside the cells. As the salt draws water out, it helps to enhance flavor and preserve the meat. This water loss can also lead to a firmer texture in the meat, as the cells shrink.
Too salty meat?
If the meat is uncooked you could try rinsing it under cold water to help reduce the salt flavour. If the meat is cooked the salt flavour has cooked into the meat and it is very hard to remove it after that has happened. >well, I learned how to cook meat from the Philipina Woman from my Church, that you could continue to cook the meat with rice and or potatoes, and that they would absorb a lot of the salt. Now it's my turn to try it, I only need to convince my daughter (the cook in the family!) that this is true. Is there anyone out there that can confirm this? I am no longer in contact with my church family.
