If you have a hard time finding the pin bones in a fillet of salmon or other firm-fleshed fish, place a small dish upside down on the counter and drape the fillet skin-side down over the back of the dish. As the fish is bent back a bit over the plate, the bones will pop up and become more visible; then use tweezers or kitchen pliers to remove them.
