I am smoking up 3 big salmon filets tomorrow and accidentally bought ones that did not have the skin on them. I have smoked a ton of salmon in the past but always bought it with the skin on. Any suggestions to keep it from sticking to the grates? Would cutting it into smaller pieces help for removing instead of the large filets? Thanks.
 
Smaller, yes, probably. You could also smoke on parchment, cut just large enough to hold the fillets.
 
I can think of two ways that might work. The first is to oil the grates with olive oil. The other is to put the filets on a piece of aluminum foil. The foil will not prevent the fish from being smoked.

I love smoked Salmon and hate the smell of the juices in my smoker. So I custom make a shallow aluminum tray fashioned from heavy duty Sam's club foil to catch the juice. In the process nothing sticks to the grate.
