    I cook salmon wrapped in tin foil with sliced lemons under and over the fish. So, is it grilled, poached or baked? Very big difference in calorie count!

    I've seen many first time posts that ARE woo-worthy. This one looks like a fairly straightforward question to me... so not sure why it was deemed woo-worthy by a couple of people!

    I think there are actually more posters now who think woo is a good thing. I can't figure it out anymore.

    And I would call salmon in a tin foil pouch "steamed", if that's a thing :smile:

    I do the same - weigh raw, and calculate from there. I don't eat the skin; I have two dogs and two cats that consider that a wonderful treat whether it is crispy or not, and it's good for their skin and coats, too. I think it is far more accurate to weigh and calculate calories from uncooked foods, including meat, pasta, etc. Someone's version of 100-grams of "al dente" is going to be denser calorie-wise than 100-grams cooked to be very soft. It's the same concept with fish and meats, except in reverse, since many cooking methods of meat removes water from the item.
