Apparently some country did not pronounce it as saemen, i’m from Malaysia and everyone just say Salmon instead, so chance is if you use the intended pronunciation in your area, no one will understand what you mean. Use what your country prefer i’d say.
So I just realized I never heard the word salmon out loud and only ever read it. Also I headpronounced it wrong all the time.
