OYSTERS... Shuck the oysters and, with their liquor, put them in a small pot.

Rinse the bottom shells under cold water to remove any sand or soil and place them upside down on a paper towel to dry; set aside.
Step 4

To the small pot over medium-low heat, add butter and lemon zest to the oysters.
Step 5

When bubbles appear around the edges, cover and cook for 3 minutes.
Step 6

Remove from the heat and drain oysters in a colander; set aside.
Step 7

Spread coarse pickling salt to cover the surface of a baking sheet, about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 8

Place the rinsed bottom shells on the salt before placing one oyster per shell.
Step 9

Evenly divide the sauce among the oysters and top with bacon.
Step 10

Transfer to the oven under the broiler and bake 3 minutes or until everything is warmed through.
Step 11

Place oysters on a serving plate and sprinkle on fresh chives. Serve with lemon wedges.
