Grilled salmon is a healthy entree, full of omega-3 fatty acids that can lower your risk of developing heart disease, according to the American Heart Association. A 3-ounce serving of sockeye salmon contains 121 calories, 4.8 grams of fat, 45 milligrams of cholesterol, 95 milligrams of sodium and 18 grams of protein. Serving salmon with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter adds 102 calories and 12 grams of fat to your dish, but salmon has such a distinctive flavor that simple preparations are best and you won't need to use a lot of butter.
