    That must some big a** salmon O.o

    I'm pretty sure it's what is being served with it. If you notice, the other meals says no sides and the calories are a lot lower.

    although i heard/read somewhere (i forget where) that places like to brush melted butter over their food to make it look more tasty and in fact be more tasty...so that is a thought too. :(

    Why would you order from the kids menu??? There are plenty of much lower calorie choices on the real menu. Just order what you want and ask them to bring a take home dish. The portions are usually too large when you eat out. Cut it in half and you have lunch for the next day. Salmon is a very fatty fish and not low in calories. The grilled salmon from the adult menu is only 460 calories - if that is what you want - order it. But there are tons of healthy, lower calorie choices on the menu. Don't just assume that the kid portions are going to be the best bet. They may be smaller, but you can always control your own portions by cutting it down the center and only eating half.
