If your salmon still has the skin, carefully remove the skin.

Drizzle the sauce over the top.

Notes

Top tips:

If your salmon still has the skin attached to it, you can easily remove it on your own with one of two methods. The original method is to pat your fish dry. Place the salmon skin side down onto a cutting board. Check to make sure there aren’t any pin bones. Make about a one-inch cut between the skin and flesh to give yourself something to hold onto. Using a saw motion and with the blade facing the skin work your way down towards the end of the fish.
The second way to remove the skin is to place your skin flesh side down on a wire rack fitted into a baking sheet. Bring water to a boil in either a tea kettle or a small saucepan. Stream a little boiling water over the skin of the salmon and let it sit for about a minute. You should easily be able to peel the skin off.
Farm-raised salmon or Atlantic salmon has a higher fat content than wild-caught salmon such as sockeye, king salmon, or coho. It is better to cook wild-caught salmon at 5-10 °F less while farm-raised can be cooked more. Cook what you like and always buy what looks the best.
