No bones about it

Most ish illets come without any bones, but it’s a good idea to check that none have been left in as they’re sharp, pointy and unpleasant to eat. To check the salmon doesn’t have any bones, stroke your inger across the pink side of the salmon (not the skin) – if you feel any sharp, needle-like bones poking out, gently ease them out using a clean pair of kitchen tweezers, or simply pinch the bone between your ingers and quickly pull upwards.
