Salmon, wild, flesh only, raw

Wild salmon is an oily fish. The figures here describe its raw flesh only, based on samples of fresh steaks. It mainly provides protein and fat, along with vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 22g of protein, 10g of fat, 8.6µg of vitamin D and 6.5µg of vitamin B12.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and maintain bones and muscles, while vitamin B12 supports normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. Cooking changes the water content, so nutrient amounts per weight may differ from these raw values. Added salt, oils or sauces also affect the nutritional content of a prepared dish.
