Fresh salmon is often available farmed or wild, with wild carrying the higher price tag. The country-of-origin label should tell you where the fish is from and if it is farmed or wild. Or buy the fish from a reputable fish market that can provide this information. Common forms of salmon include fillets (probably the most readily available), steaks, and whole fish. Make sure your fresh salmon is firm, moist, and smells like the ocean. For fillets, ask your fish market to skin them. This isn't essential but it is convenient. Frozen salmon is also an option. If salmon is not available, opt for rosy-color arctic char, which has a similar flavor.
Wild: Most varieties of wild salmon are available fresh May through October and frozen throughout the year. Wild salmon are typically Pacific coast varieties such as coho (silver), sockeye (red), Chinook (king), pink, and chum.
Farmed: Atlantic salmon is generally farmed. These salmon are grown in pens near ocean shores. Farming has increased availability substantially and allows for salmon at a cheaper price.
