how much protein is in salmon

Question

Salmon is a well-known source of protein! Here's how much protein you can expect to find in a serving of salmon:

Answer 1

• A 3.5-ounce (100-gram) serving of salmon contains around 22-25 grams of protein [1, 2].

This means that protein makes up a significant portion of the calories in salmon.

Here are some resources for reference:

• Salmon Nutrition, Health Benefits, and More: This webpage from Healthline provides a breakdown of salmon's nutrients, including protein content: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/salmon-nutrition-and-health-benefits
• Fish, salmon, Atlantic, wild, raw: This entry from the USDA National Nutrient Database provides detailed nutritional information for salmon, including protein per gram: https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/food-details/1028841/nutrients

The amount of protein in your salmon can vary slightly depending on the specific type of salmon (e.g., Atlantic, Coho, Sockeye) and whether it's wild-caught or farmed. However, the 22-25 gram range per 3.5-ounce serving is a good general estimate
