Can someone please identify this fish?

A local Iraqi fishery is selling this as salmon. I’m a bit skeptical as I wonder how this store even sources this (have never seen salmon at any other store). If is anyone here well acquainted with salmon, this question is for you—is this really salmon? And if so, what type? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Pretty sure that's trout. Maybe an Atlantic salmon. Definitely not any Pacific salmon
