Calories in raw farmed Atlantic salmon.
208 kcal per 100 g.
Almost all supermarket salmon is farmed Atlantic, and farmed fish carries roughly twice the fat of wild — that is the entire calorie difference between the two rows. Most of that fat is unsaturated, including the omega-3s salmon is eaten for.

Energy comes from USDA nutrient 1008. Salt is calculated as sodium × 2.5, with unit conversion to grams. It is not a separately measured salt value.
Preparation
Farmed Atlantic salmon is 208 kcal per 100 g raw with 13.4 g of fat — roughly double the fat of the wild row at 6.3, which is the single biggest difference between the two and comes from diet rather than from anything done in a kitchen. Cooking barely moves it: the cooked farmed row is 206 per 100 g, because the water lost and the fat rendered happen to cancel out.
Logging this food
A 3 oz portion is 85 g raw and 177 kcal; half a fillet is 198 g and 412. Salmon is one of the few proteins where the raw and cooked per-100 g figures are close enough that crossing them costs little — but the weights are not: half a fillet goes from 198 g raw to 178 g cooked, and that 10% is real.
Swaps and alternatives
Wild Atlantic salmon is 142 kcal per 100 g raw against this row's 208, for almost the same protein. Whether that is a swap depends on price and on what you want from the fat — farmed salmon's extra 7 g per 100 g is mostly the omega-3 people eat salmon for. Cod is the lean-fish alternative if the number is all that matters.
