Lots of Salmon have small worms not a parasite, and would be harmless if cooked.

Spaghetti worm. A benign tapeworm.

Probably not.
Either way, good thing you cooked it!

Normal and yes, but dead. Almost all fish have parasites that are killed by freezing.

Yeah, many fish have worms. That’s why it has to be cooked to temp, or prepared specially if you’re having sushi.

looks like it could be a Chinese noodle, forget the names of them, not lowmein chowmein 20 differt kinds and colors from white to brown, if cooked with rice the noodlee would be way over cooked and mushy, if a worm it would not pull apart to easy like an overcooked noodle, or be easy to mush with just a bit of pressure. maybe mixed in by accident with the rice, may package both items in the plant that made the rice, I had a cocoa puff in my captain crunch last month. It happens, probably not a parasite but another chinese side noodle the company makes, could be a worm, but people eat them without knowing all the time. Fruits too, even those tiny worms in apples, cherries etc, I bought home cherries once ate a handful then cut a few up for my granddaughter and found worms in 3 of 4 , about got sick since I ate 5 of them whole, didn’t even notice, raw worms, yes I threw the rest away.

Small worms usually found from fish on river, due to Salmon being able to live in both sea and riber they would always have them.
That is why usually Salmon is frozen first before allowed being sold.
