Wild-caught salmon (often from Alaska) is generally leaner with a more robust flavor. Farmed varieties are more consistent in availability and often have higher fat content.

The flesh should be firm and "spring back" when lightly pressed. If it stays indented or feels slimy/mushy, it is past its prime.

How the fish was raised or caught impacts both flavor and environmental health.
