📏 Low Animal Protein
Salmon contains animal protein (about 0g per 100g). The AUA recommends limiting non-dairy animal protein to 3 oz (palm-sized) per meal. Reference guide, not an official standard.
Cooking method is the axis that separates the members of this family. Boiled versions shed part of their soluble oxalate into the discarded water (typically 30-50%), raw versions retain everything, and frozen sits close to raw. Atlantic Salmon (Atlantic 2) measures 0 mg per standard serving, in line with the rest of the family — check the form you actually eat rather than the base name. Related forms in this family: Atlantic Salmon (Atlantic) (0 mg), Sockeye Salmon (0 mg).
