How this fits a day of eating
A 3 oz (85g) cooked portion of farmed Atlantic salmon is about 175 calories, just under 9% of a 2,000 calorie day, with 19g of protein. It is higher in calories than white fish because of its fat, but much of that fat is the omega-3 type that most diets fall short on.
Wild salmon is leaner than farmed. Cooked wild Atlantic salmon is closer to 180 calories per 100g, so if you usually buy wild, your real intake is a little lower than these figures.
Common questions
How many calories are in a salmon fillet?
A half fillet of cooked farmed Atlantic salmon weighs about 178g and contains roughly 367 calories and 39g of protein. Supermarket portions are often sold at 110 to 140g raw, which cook down to around 85 to 110g, or roughly 175 to 225 calories each.
Is salmon good for weight loss?
Salmon is higher in calories than lean white fish, at around 206 per 100g cooked, but it delivers about 22g of protein and long-chain omega-3 fats in the same portion. Protein and fat both slow digestion, so a measured portion of salmon can be very filling for its calories.
Is wild or farmed salmon lower in calories?
Wild salmon is usually lower in calories because it carries less fat. Cooked farmed Atlantic salmon is about 206 calories per 100g, while cooked wild Atlantic salmon is closer to 180. Both are good protein sources, so the choice mostly comes down to price, taste and availability.
