Measuring salmon

Salmon is bought raw and eaten cooked, so you may weigh it in either state. For this record the two USDA rows are close per hundred grams, 208 kcal raw and 206 kcal cooked. Match the state you weighed anyway. USDA names them "Fish, salmon, Atlantic, farmed, raw" and "Fish, salmon, Atlantic, farmed, cooked, dry heat". The USDA ARS cooking yields table covers meat and poultry, not fish, so this page gives no cooking-loss figure. Skin and bones add pack weight, and the record names do not say whether skin is included, so weigh only the flesh you eat. The figures are for farmed Atlantic salmon.

If you cook one fillet and split it, weigh the cooked piece you serve yourself and log it as cooked. Smoked salmon, canned salmon and wild salmon are different foods and need their own entry. Salmon commonly sits on rice, potatoes or greens, and a mixed sentence works.

A farmed Atlantic salmon fillet weighs 356 g cooked and has 733 kcal, or 396 g raw and 824 kcal (USDA household measures). Per 100 g the two records are almost equal, 208 kcal raw and 206 kcal cooked (FDC 175167 and 175168), so the total follows the weight of the fillet you have. A 4 oz portion (113 g) is 234 kcal cooked. On this page's chart, raw tilapia is 96 kcal and raw cod 82 kcal per 100 g, so raw salmon (208 kcal) is more than double per gram.

Common questions

How many calories in salmon?

Cooked farmed Atlantic salmon is 206 kcal per hundred grams and raw is 208 kcal. Use the state you weighed. Both rows are USDA records for farmed Atlantic salmon, not wild or smoked.

How many calories are in a pound of salmon?

A pound of raw farmed Atlantic salmon is 943 kcal and a pound of cooked salmon is 934 kcal. Use the raw row for a pack weighed before cooking and the cooked row for a plate weighed after.

How many calories in a salmon fillet?

It depends on the fillet weight. Cooked salmon is 58 kcal per ounce, so weigh the fillet and scale. The amount table above also lists the USDA half-fillet rows.
