Showing the top 50 of the 302 salmon products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories. Figures per label, sourced from Open Food Facts and tracker user logs, last checked 2026-09-18.
Scan your own shop with FoodSussed: calories and macros from the barcode, plus an estimated processing level from 1 to 4 with the reasons. Or start with the fat-loss guide built around Irish food.
302 of the 303 salmon products carry 20 calories or more per 100g, which is the floor below which protein per 100 calories stops being a real number. Across those the median is 9.3g of protein per 100 calories. 134 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in two, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.
Calories run from 73 to 476 per 100g inside this one group, a 7-fold spread, so “salmon” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.
Own-brand is not the compromise here. The supermarket own-label median is 10.6g of protein per 100 calories across 116 products, against 8.1g for the 186 name-brand ones.
Tesco is the only Irish chain with enough own-label salmon to compare fairly — 28 products at a median of 9.9g per 100 calories. Everywhere else this is a name-brand shelf.
On the numbers the pick is John West Skinless & Boneless Wild Pacific Pink Salmon 170g: 20.4g of protein per 100 calories, 2.2 times the 9.3g median for the group.
3 of the 302 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.
The Tesco comparison above covers 28 own-label salmon products. For other aisles, browse Tesco foods by protein per calorie.
A protein-per-calorie number is only useful once you know the target, and that is how much protein a day actually works out to.
For one specific product rather than the whole group, the 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland, and the same figures are built into the calorie app.
Real barcode-matched products with a confirmed photo — the same rule as Calories in Ireland: a photo only shows where we have a confirmed Open Food Facts match, never a guessed stock image.




We track 303 salmon products across Irish supermarkets and brands. 302 of them carry 20 calories or more per 100g, which is the point below which protein per 100 calories stops being a real number, so those are the ones ranked and averaged here.
The table is sorted highest protein per 100 calories first, so the answer is the top row. The more useful number is that the median for the whole group is 9.3g per 100 calories and 134 products clear 10g — that tells you whether salmon is worth buying for protein at all, which protein per 100g does not.
