ok, had to look, and it looks like Coho is the highest protein at 37% followed by Sockeye, with King the fattiest

High-fat Pacific Salmon:
King (chinook)
304 calories, 17.7 grams of fat (52%), 33.9 grams of protein
Sockeye (red)
286 calories, 14.6 grams of fat (46%), 36.2 grams of protein

“Low-fat” Pacific Salmon
“Coho (silver)
248 calories, 10.1 grams of fat (37%), 36.8 grams of protein
Pink (humpy)
197 calories, 5.9 grams of fat (27%), 33.9 grams of protein

Keta salmon has even less fat than that, but it's not as good.

King, Sockeye, and Coho salmon are all really good.
