    The spelling was later changed to be consistent with the Latin word for the fish, "salmo." Unfortunately, even though the spelling was changed, the French-influenced pronunciation without an L remained. Hence, the L in the English word "salmon" is silent. ... The L in “salmon,” the name of a fish, is not pronounced.
