Salmon is one of the most nutritious fish available today. It is rich in various nutrients that are hard to find in most foods.
Most experts agree that wild-caught salmon is healthier than farm-raised because it is higher in omega-3 fatty acids (healthy) and lower in omega-6 fatty acids (not as healthy). Also, farmed salmon is generally dyed to give it that salmon-pink color.
However, farm-raised salmon can be a quarter of the price of wild so it may be "healthier" for the budget.
