How can I effectively remove the skin from a salmon fillet?

To effectively remove the skin from a salmon fillet, place the fillet skin-side down on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to make a small cut between the flesh and the skin at one end of the fillet. Hold the skin with one hand and slide the knife along the length of the fillet, keeping the blade close to the skin to separate it from the flesh. Pull the skin away as you continue to slide the knife, using a back-and-forth motion if needed.
