Use the sharp end of a chef's knife to cut the flesh into small pieces. Place the fish directly on the baking tray, so it doesn't pile up. Lay all of the salmon fillets in the baking tray. Put a layer of plastic wrap on the tops of all the fillets before moving them to the oven. Pat the inside of the belly dry with paper towel. Pat the outside with a fresh paper towel as well. When the fish is removed, the flesh will be flat and removable. [substeps] Your hand will not be able to handle the flesh and the fish will not stand upright.
