"cultivated" is a reasonable label for these things. So "cultivated salmon" is a concise and accurate description of what is being served.

And it's listed as cultivated on the menus of the restaurants they list on their site.

Cultivated seems misleading since it sounds like it’s a real fish from a fish farm.

We have the word "farmed" for that.

"cultivated" is not meant to mislead, it's meant to find an agreeable label that communicates the product provenance.
