Salmon is among the fattiest fish — 4.4 g fat, 20.5 g protein per 100 g. A meta-analysis of 17 cohorts (Giosuè et al., Adv Nutr 2022) found only fatty fish cut CVD risk, with RR 0.92 per serving. The marine fat profile is what drives the signal — lean fish show no association. Log cooked weight.
How should I track Salmon, pink, raw?
Salmon, pink, raw is high in vitamin d. For the most accurate tracking of Salmon, pink, raw, weigh it raw and boneless. Fish loses 15–25% of its weight during cooking as water evaporates (USDA cooking yield data). If you are using canned fish, the drained weight is what matters — the difference between oil-packed and water-packed can be 40–80 calories per can. A quick drain-and-weigh habit saves you from hidden calories. Also keep in mind that smoked or cured fish has different values than fresh due to moisture loss and added salt.
