Description
Here are the basic steps to skin a piece of salmon. Follow along if your recipe calls for salmon with the skin removed. All you need is a cutting board, a sharp knife and a fresh salmon fillet.
Ingredients
Scale
1 boneless salmon fillet
Instructions
- Start with the salmon filet, skin-side-down, running crosswise on the cutting board. Make a primary cut to reveal enough of the skin so that you’ll be able to grab ahold of the skin.
- Pull skin firmly away against the pressure of your knife. If it is too slippery, use your kitchen towel to help. Holding your knife at a slight downward angle, gently saw the knife back and forth while pulling the skin forcefully in the opposite direction.
