About
A salmon fillet is a dense, oily cut of fish that weighs slightly more than an equal volume of water.
Salmon fillet has a density of about 0.61 ounces per cubic inch (1.05 grams per milliliter), meaning it will sink slowly in fresh water. This density is very similar to other boneless raw meats like chicken breast. A typical dinner portion weighing 6 ounces (170 grams) occupies about 0.7 US cups (162 milliliters) of physical space. Because the tissue consists primarily of water, protein, and natural oils, raw cuts contain virtually no trapped air.
From Wikipedia
