Computed from USDA FoodData Central SR Legacy (April 2018) per-100g values applied to ingredient gram weights derived from stated recipe quantities (grams used directly) or from USDA SR Legacy food_portion.csv household measures (tbsp/tsp/clove/'medium' item references) where recipe used volume/count units — see 'calculation' lines for each ingredient's basis. LOWER-BOUND ONLY: 'salt and pepper'/unspecified salt, unspecified sauces/dressings, and garnish-only items were excluded per instructions (no gram quantity given), so actual sodium (and to a lesser extent kcal/fat/carbs from such omissions) is almost certainly higher than shown. Unspecified/omitted ingredients: flaky salt: quantity unspecified (null) — EXCLUDED from macro totals (no gram amount given; 'salt' terms excluded per instructions as added salt is unspecified, not assumed)
Calculation sources
- yellowtail fillet, skin on: 200.0 g -> USDA SR Legacy fdc 175163 (Fish, yellowtail, mixed species, raw); raw fillet weight basis (recipe quantity = raw portion weighed before cooking)
- butter, soft: 20.0 g -> USDA SR Legacy fdc 173410 (Butter, salted)
- garlic, grated: 3.0 g -> USDA SR Legacy fdc 169230 (Garlic, raw); USDA portion 1 clove = 3 g
- lemon, zest and juice: 15.0 g -> USDA SR Legacy fdc 167747 (Lemon juice, raw) used as proxy for squeezed/sliced lemon wedge contribution; assumed juice yield ~30 g per whole lemon x q=0.5. Zest nutrient contribution not separately captured (negligible mass).
- parsley, chopped: 1.3 g -> USDA SR Legacy fdc 170416 (Parsley, fresh); 1 tsp chopped assumed ~1.3 g (1/3 of tbsp reference)
