The problem with most salmon (restaurant or supermarket) is that it is farmed & no more healthier than steak. And perhaps less so. You'd be better off with grass-fed beef. Avoid almost all farmed fish (tilapia is always farmed, e.g.). People think that fish is healthy, but if it is served fried (the only way a lot of people can stomach it), the ratio of omega-6 (from the oil), relative to the omega-3 (from the fish) is so high, that you might as well not bother. -Patrick I wouldn’t rely on fish for the proper daily intake of omega-3.

If you don't like to eat salmon, perhaps you might consider taking a salmon oil supplement.
