Hi Deb--this sounds great!! ... and some other ideas>>

I will try it, but, will 'tweak' it a bit so I can do the salmon on the grill! I have found that if you first place the salmon flesh side down on the grill, then, when you turn it, the skin side will be down on the grill, and then...the fillet will lift right off the skin when it is done! This to me is easier than trying to remove the skin before hand.
