The Perfect Fillet
Not only is this wild Alaska sockeye salmon, from Bristol Bay, gorgeous, but it's a very healthy food, too. The following information is taken from the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute Website. It's an interesting site, and even has some recipes.
Omega-3 Fats are Healthy. Alaska Salmon is rich in Omega-3 oils. Scientists have known for years that Omega-3 offers heart-healthy benefits, including:

Helping to decrease blood lipids (cholesterol, LDL's, and triglycerides)
Reducing blood clotting factors
Increasing relaxation in larger arteries and blood vessels
Decreasing the inflammatory processes in blood vessels
Additionally, the Omega-3 oils found in certain types of seafood, including Alaska Salmon, have been linked to improvements in or prevention of certain kinds of cancer, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, arthritis, asthma, certain kinds of mental illness, depression and lupus.
