                                An average 3.5-ounce serving of cooked sockeye salmon contains only about 10 grams of fat, significantly less than other salmon species. This naturally lean profile is a result of a highly active, wild-caught life and a unique diet, differentiating it from its farmed and fattier counterparts.
