Dardanel Smoked Salmon - How Many Calories?

Weighing smoked salmon for a meal

A 40 g serving of Dardanel smoked salmon provides 92 kcal and 6.72 g protein; 80 g provides 185 kcal and 13.44 g protein. Slices vary in thickness. Weighing the amount placed on toast or a canapé gives a more consistent estimate than assigning every slice the same weight.

How to serve it

The product is ready to eat. Serve it on bread with cream cheese, cucumber or greens, counting the bread and cheese separately. A whole Mr. NO smoked salmon sandwich is not the same weight of plain smoked fish: bread and sauce occupy part of its total weight.

For example, 40 g smoked salmon with 15 g regular Bahçıvan labneh provides about 121 kcal and 7.62 g protein before bread. Adding the labneh’s 0.105 g salt brings the pair to about 1.31 g salt.

Salt and omega-3 in a small portion

A 40 g portion contains 1.2 g salt and, using the manufacturer's declaration, 484 mg EPA+DHA. Eating the full 80 g pack brings salt to 2.4 g. Capers, pickles and salty cheese add to the meal's salt; the fish's omega-3 content does not cancel those additions. Saturated fat is declared as 0.1 g per 100 g on both the manufacturer page and the package panel.

EPA+DHA and ALA are not interchangeable; the ALA figure listed for walnuts and seeds measures a different fatty acid. When comparing omega-3 sources, read the fatty-acid type alongside the portion eaten.

Smoked salmon versus salmon marine

The smoked product lists 97% Turkish salmon, salt, sugar, spices and natural wood smoke. The dill-flavored salmon marine is a separate preparation. At equal 40 g portions, smoked salmon supplies 6.72 g protein and 1.2 g salt, while the marine product supplies 9.28 g protein and 1.24 g salt. Their different preparation and flavor come with separate nutrition panels.

Keeping the opened pack cold

The manufacturer specifies storage at 0–4°C and consumption within two days of opening. Remove the amount needed for serving and keep the rest refrigerated. Follow the date and storage directions on your own package.

Source note

The manufacturer's 231 kcal per 100 g panel was checked against the rear artwork of the 80 g pack. The ingredient list identifies Oncorhynchus mykiss; generic marketing wording was not used to relabel it Norwegian Atlantic salmon. The older 100 g/225 kcal entry was kept separate. Unreported fiber and micronutrients remain unknown.
