Do you grill a salmon filet skin side down?

Yes, salmon filets should be grilled skin side down. This is because the skin helps to protect the delicate flesh of the fish from the heat of the grill, and it also helps to keep the fish from sticking to the grill grates. Additionally, the skin side of the salmon is where most of the flavor is concentrated, so grilling it skin side down helps to ensure that the fish is evenly flavored.
