while the first post was correct this can be further explaned.

assuming the salmon you have is not a super salmon (homozygous salmon), technically it is heterozygous for hypomelanism.
when bred to a normal, half of the offspring should also be heterozygous for hypomelanism. as mentioned in the other post hypomelanism is co-dominant, which means that a heterozygous animal will look visually different from a normal type animal.

just trying to make sure you are aware that there is a homozygous and a heterozygous form of hypomelanism. although i may have been to technical for you to understand and if so i appologize.
