Why Salmon (Atlantic, farmed) shows up in protein-forward diets
The reference fish for omega-3 content, but it's worth knowing that farmed and wild salmon differ meaningfully — farmed runs higher in total fat and slightly lower in protein density than wild-caught.
Serving-size math
A 1 fillet (140g) portion delivers 35.6g of protein and roughly 291 calories. Scaled per 100 calories, that works out to 12.21g of protein — useful for comparing against other foods on a calorie-matched basis rather than a weight-matched one.
Prep tip
