Thinking sockeye is prime for that.
Natives have it hung and dried back in the day.
Chinook has the most fat.
Cant recall where sockeye and coho come in.
But all should be good.
Alrhough my favourite is the brined sockeye cold smoked.

Cold smoked do you do that yourself or send it out? would you not need a different type of smoker to do cold smoke?

Back in the day driving up the Fraser canyon you would see salmon hanging on the wooden racks that the aboriginals were drying . How do they keep the flies away and how long do they let them dry like that ?

they soak the fish in salt brine that coats the fish meat which develops a boundary that flies and other insects avoid and or can't penetrate while its hanging

My buddy had a buddy.
But, if you look up Fish with Rod, he did a YouTube on smoking salmon and I think he also did cold smoke.
