Yes, you put the salmon directly on the grill grates. I like to brush the grates (or the grill pan) with oil just before placing the fish onto the grill, which helps prevent sticking. The skin also helps hold the fish together and prevents sticking on the grill. For fillets, put them down skinless side first (so fish side first). Open the grill lid and place the salmon, skin-side down, on the hot zone.
