Not sure what kinds of differences you are looking for, but they are different species. Atlantic salmon are members of the species Salmo salar. Pacific salmon in the US are made of 5 different species, all in the genus Onchorhynchus. These are the Chinook (O. tshawytscha), chum (O. keta), coho (O. kisutch), pink (O. gorbuscha), and sockeye salmon (O. nerka). Steelhead (O. mykiss) are actually not a salmon, but an ocean running type of rainbow trout. All of these are members of the family Salmonidae.
Also, most Atlantic salmon are farm raised today, whereas most Pacific salmon are wild caught.
** Also a key difference is that the Pacific salmon the "true" salmon die after spawning. The Atlantic salmon are able to spawn several times during their life.

Why does the Pacific Salmon die after spawning but the Atlantic Salmon do not and return yearly?
Pacific salmon, such as sockeye and chinook, typically die after spawning due to a life history strategy that prioritizes reproduction over longevity, allowing them to allocate all their energy to one reproductive event. This semelparity is thought to have evolved in response to the harsh conditions of their upstream migration. In contrast, Atlantic salmon are iteroparous, allowing them to spawn multiple times throughout their lives, which provides them with the opportunity to return to the ocean to recover and gain strength between spawning events. This difference in reproductive strategy reflects adaptations to their respective environments and life cycles.
