Direct answer: DietVox compares the plain prepared Salmon serving described here within its Weight Loss profile and returns AMBER for Salmon.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a healthy portion size for salmon when trying to lose weight?
There is no universal salmon portion for weight loss. The reference profile can compare a serving, but 100–150 g is not a prescription or outcome guarantee.
Is farmed or wild salmon better for weight loss?
Farmed and wild salmon products differ in profile and preparation. No type or cooking method is universally better for weight loss; compare the actual product, recipe and serving.
How does salmon compare to tuna for weight loss?
Salmon and tuna products differ in profile, recipe and serving. Neither is universally superior for weight loss, inflammation or heart health; compare the actual product and individual dietary needs.
Can I eat salmon skin if I'm on a weight loss diet?
Salmon skin changes the recipe and portion. No skin choice or preparation is established as better for weight loss; compare the actual product and complete meal.
