Always buy wild caught salmon... farm raised salmon are fed a diet that raises their omega 6s, not their omega 3s. Farmed fish have higher levels of PCBs and other organochlorines than wild caught, and their farms create sea lice that kill wild salmon. (go to www.mgayaq.org for the best choices in seafood in your area)
Eat fish within 2 days of purchase. If you can't find wild salmon in your area, consider ordering it online -- it's worth the investment and peace of mind.
Used canned salmon, which is almost always wild caught, to sprinkle over salads, fold into a low carb wrap, or add to an omelet. Or try kippered snacks - smoked herring, quite delicious all by itself - or sardines.
If you are really freaked out about the environmental toxins in fish, you can (and should!~) take a daily fish oil supplement instead.
