I don't want to cause a scare but I read previously that raw salmon is poisonous for dogs, i'm not sure how true.  I just did a goggle and this came up:

I often buy salmon scraps from the fish shop and add them to meals. The dogs love them. They crunch up any bones and fins.

My BC girl's breeder includes raw salmon (including heads) in her dogs' raw diet.  

 

I would say what  @persephone found is the answer,
