In pcb, how do I specify that there should be no solder mask on the top layer of my board?

I know about growing t
he mask clearance for a given pin/pad using “K”, but want to suppress the entire solder mask.
I’ve tried drawing a polygon (rectangle) just inside of the board outline, but can’t draw on the solder mask “layer” (I guess because it’s not really a layer?).
Maybe “K” is the way to go?

Thanks,
James
