You don't think a salmon that can grow twice as fast as usual is useful?

IMHO, I believe they opted for Salmon is that the fish is highly prolific, matures fast, is a high protein source and the fish has a wide temperature and salt water tolerance. This fish should grow well all over the world.

May not sound tastey to you; but to a guy starving in Africa - I’m sure it’s better than Rock Soup.

Why the salmon in particular? We certainly haven't left the cattle, pigs or poultry alone - they've been genetically modified by us using artificial selection through all of man's recorded history.

This is useful. It could make cheap seafood and meat easily available to every person in the world eventually. Farming of genetically modified salmon would also mean an end to overfishing of wild salmon.
