If you are talking about the gray like under the skin, yes, it's edible. Nutrionionally, I don't know, but I do know that when I've ordered Salmon steaks it always seems to be there, though the chefs turn the steak over so the diner (me) doesn't see it. I've never seen that on fillets, so I guess the fish monger or chef cuts it off for presentation. I have eaten it, and actually thought it was TASTY, when done correctly.
I've roasted a 30lb salmon in our backyard, and only certain parts of the fish has that gray layer under the skin. The "most done" parts of the fish had that "gray" part, (the tail and close to the head). Maybe it just means it's more done? I have no clue. I'd like to hear from a real chef that has some info.

It's edible. That's just the layer of flesh right below the skin. It's good to eat. You don't have to worry about a thing.

Yes it is edible and it contains all the Omega 3 fat that we are constantly told is good to eat.

Are you talking about the dark like down the center of the meat? Yes you could eat it.... but if it is stronger tasting than the white meat....
