How do you remove salmon skin?

I usually don't cook salmon fillets that are that big though. I use individual pieces that are like 5-6 oz. instead of doing the whole thing together.

Wow! Never really gave this a thought. I always cooked with skin on and served on plate with skin side down. Just cut into it with a fork and meat came easily away from skin. When done just one big piece of skin left on plate. Would think you would have to handle it carefully without skin.

Once the skin is off it is very easy to cut the side of salmon into portion-appropriate fillets. I prefer to buy my salmon like in the video, break it down and portion it myself. Bulk is usually a good deal cheaper.

My grocery store just has a single, price per pound. So if I buy a large piece and portion it myself versus buying smaller, individual ones would not change the price.
