Preparation
Wild Atlantic salmon is 142 kcal per 100 g raw with 6.3 g of fat, against the farmed row's 208 and 13.4. A wild fish swims for its food and eats a different diet, and that shows up as less fat in the fillet — the difference is the fish, not the fishmonger. Cooking concentrates it sharply: the cooked wild row is 182 per 100 g, a 28% rise, because there is less fat here to render and cushion the water loss.
Logging this food
A 3 oz portion is 85 g raw and 121 kcal; half a fillet is 198 g and 281. Unlike the farmed rows, wild salmon's raw and cooked figures are far apart, so the state matters: 100 g of this fish is 142 kcal raw and 182 cooked, and the fillet loses about a fifth of its weight on the way.
Swaps and alternatives
Farmed Atlantic salmon is 208 kcal per 100 g raw, half again as much, for the same protein and more omega-3 fat. Raw cod is the leaner white-fish option. Within salmon there is no leaner row than this one, which makes wild the answer whenever the number is the deciding factor and the price is not.
