Serves: 5

With a sharp knife held parallel to the work surface, loosen the top fillet by running the blade along the length of the fish just above the backbone.

Cut the loosened fillet into serving-sized portions and lift off each portion with a spatula. Remove any large, obvious bones from each serving.

When the top layer has been completely served, lift off and discard the backbone and attached ribs.

Cut the remaining fillet into serving-sized portions.
