I have opened thousands of salmon and have never found an adult fish without gonads.  Milo nailed it - it was meant to be eaten.
Atlantic Salmon they have all sorts of funny traits.

For what its worth the fillets were similar to sockeye, color, consistency and lacked the fatty strips ive seen on Atlantic salmon fillets in grocery store.

Here is a nice bright female I caught for comparison,  Had a tiny egg sack, The discoloration on its top half is from the Ice and where I bonked it.
