Nutrition Facts For Marinated Salmon

Salmon is a high protein seafood option that also provides a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids for heart health. Adding marinade to the meat changes the nutritional values of the dish.

Serving Information

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's nutrient database lists 3 ounces of cooked salmon as one serving. Marinades vary in the amount of fat and calories, so if you marinate the salmon, it is important to read the nutritional data if you are tracking nutrients for a healthy diet.

Calories

One serving of cooked salmon has about 175 calories, with the majority coming from fat and protein. A 1 tbsp. serving of Italian dressing marinade increases the total calories by 45. A sugary marinade might have more calories per serving. Many marinades are sugar-based and high in carbohydrates, but it is possible to find an oil-based marinade that increases the fat calories in the meat.

Carbohydrates

Salmon does not contain carbohydrates or fiber. A 1 tbsp. serving of Italian dressing for a marinade adds 1.5 g of carbs to the food. A sugar-based marinade might increase the carbohydrates to about 9 g for 1 tbsp., depending on the ingredients in the marinade.

Fat and Protein

One serving of salmon is high in protein, with about 18.8 g for 3 ounces, with about 10.5 g of fat and 54 mg of cholesterol in each serving. A 1 tbsp. serving of Italian dressing for a marinade adds about 4 g of fat and only a trace amount of protein. A sweet marinade might be low in fat and protein, but take the time to check the nutrient content before adding it to your salmon.

Vitamins and Minerals

Salmon is a good source of minerals, with about 13 g of calcium, 0.3 mg of iron, 26 mg of magnesium, 214 mg of phosphorus and 326 mg of potassium for each 3-ounce serving. The fish also contains vitamins A, C and B-complex, including folate. A single serving has 52 mg of sodium, which might increase if the marinade is high in salt, which most are.
