Every time I grill salmon, it turns out great until I have to take off the skin. The fillet always breaks apart when I try to take it off. I've tried starting the salmon skin side down and then after I flip it, to peel the skin off with tongs, which did not work. I also have tried to grill it with the skin on the whole time and then after I take it off the grill, to remove it. But the process of turning the pieces over and either cutting the skin off or trying to slide a spatula underneath to remove it always results in the fillet breaking. I have tried removing the skin prior to grilling but that is a pain and I also have read that it is best to grill with the skin on to hold the fillet together while on the grill.
So..... how can I grill salmon and remove the skin easily without tearing apart the fish?
