Salmon

I love salmon, but the high calorie count really puts me off.
If I have dinner with cobbler or cod or haddock, like 250 calories or less for a few fillets.
It is that many just for a single salmon fillet.
Really annoying. I am hoping that because of the nature of it, the calories in salmon won't be too damaging as part of a healthy meal.

It depends how much the fillet weighs

Generally about 120g per fillet.
Salmon seems to be about 220 per 100g. The white fish seems to average around 90-110 per 100g. Quite a difference.

Salmon is honestly something people need to eat MORE of. Yes it is calorie dense but also nutrient dense.

An average serving of farmed Atlantic salmon grilled, about 3 ounces, has around 200 calories. Fresh has less, about 120. Not all salmon has to same amount, so maybe you could look into eating a different type?

And no, there is so much good in Salmon with the omega-3s, would not worry about it. Pair it with some steamed vegetables or a nice side salad. I have that as my dinner quite often :-)

Sashimi.

If you like salmon, eating it raw is (in my opinion) even tastier. Like eating butter.

Sexy, sexy seaborne butter.

This makes sense. I always buy wild salmon and it doesn't seem to have too many calories to me. I think 120 cals for 3 ounces is reasonable. I usually have around 6 ounces.

If it is available to you eat wild Pacific salmon, it tastes much better than farmed Atlantic and it is better for you.

And Wild Salmon doesn't swim around in its own poop. That's a bonus for me.
