What is the best, most convenient canned Salmon?

The one I've found is the Kirkland brand from Costco.... to me it tastes like butter: here is what one of my favorite Educators and Medical Doctors has explained are the awesome benefits. From Dr. Andrew Weil's Heart Health Newsletter: 

2 Reasons to Eat Salmon

Salmon - particularly wild-caught Alaskan salmon and canned sockeye salmon - is one of my favorite foods. Salmon is readily available fresh, frozen and canned, making it a versatile choice, and it can be easily prepared to satisfy a wide variety of individual tastes. But the most compelling reason to eat salmon regularly is its nutritional benefits, including:
  1. Omega-3 fatty acids, the anti-inflammatory, essential fats our bodies need for optimum health. Omega-3s from eating salmon and other oily fish offer protection against heart attack, stroke, cancer, inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and mental and emotional problems.
  2. High-quality protein. A bonus is that salmon has far less saturated fat than is found in meat and poultry.
Aim for 2-6 servings of wild-caught salmon per week, and use healthful cooking methods such as baking, broiling, poaching, or steaming.
