Step 1
First, we need to clean the fish, so we scrape off the scales and carefully cut off the head, tail, and fins. Next, we fillet the fish, opening it like a book, and remove all the bones from the salmon. Make shallow cuts on the fillets and sprinkle the fish with salt and sugar, then set it aside for now.
