Cheesecake Factory SkinnyLicious Grilled Salmon: Price & Calories (2026)
Cheesecake Factory SkinnyLicious Grilled Salmon runs $26.95 to $30.95 at 590 calories, and it is the lightest salmon on the menu, served with assorted fresh vegetables and nothing else on the plate. That 590 is not just a low number, it is the cap for the whole SkinnyLicious section, and this salmon sits exactly on it. Twenty-one official location menus, checked November 6, 2026, set the range below; the calories are from the brand's published guide.
One fish, one side: what SkinnyLicious Grilled Salmon is
The menu gives this plate five words, "Served with Assorted Fresh Vegetables", and that is the whole dish: grilled salmon and vegetables. No sauce is named, no second side, no glaze, no topping, which is why this is the simplest seafood post in the series. The SkinnyLicious name is the point of the plate. It comes from the lighter menu, where every dish is capped at 590 calories, and the salmon is the fish that sits on that cap. Do not confuse it with the regular Grilled Salmon, a different dish in the Fish and Seafood section at 1,270 calories, or with SkinnyLicious Grilled Branzino, the other fish on the lighter menu at 530 calories.
How much does SkinnyLicious Grilled Salmon cost?
The spread is $26.95 to $30.95, and the middle is $27.95, from 21 official location menus. Five stores charge the $26.95 low end, five charge $27.95, two charge $28.50, six charge $28.95, and two charge the $30.95 top end, so the range is four dollars wide and most of the country pays within a dollar of the median.

The calorie count, and the sodium to watch
A plate has 590 calories, and the row behind it is steadier than the number suggests. The fat is 36g with 320 calories from fat and only 7g of saturated fat, the protein is 45g, the carbohydrates are 22g with 7g of fiber and 12g of sugar, and the cholesterol is 105mg. The one number that is not light is the sodium at 1,020mg, so this is a light plate on calories, not a low-sodium one. Against the other salmon on the menu, the gap is wide: the regular Grilled Salmon is 1,270 calories, 680 more, and Herb Crusted Filet of Salmon is 1,350, 760 more. The lunch version of the regular salmon is 940 calories, which is still 350 more than this dinner plate. For the numbers behind the plate, see the skinnylicious salmon nutrition listed the same way.

What is SkinnyLicious Grilled Salmon served with?
Assorted fresh vegetables, and that is all the menu promises. The vegetables are the side, not an extra, and no sauce or second side is named anywhere official. That is the difference from the richer salmon plates, which arrive with a sauce or a crust doing the work: here the fish and the vegetables carry the plate on their own. The vegetables change with the season and the store, so the menu does not name them, and this page does not guess at them. What does not change is the plate itself: grilled salmon, vegetables, 590 calories.
Is SkinnyLicious Grilled Salmon gluten-free?
No. The dish carries no Gluten Free Upon Request marker on any of the 21 menus checked, which is a real result, not a missing one: the same SkinnyLicious menu marks seven other items with the marker, including SkinnyLicious Grilled Branzino, and this salmon is not among them. The guide carries no gluten-free preparation row for it either. That puts it on the other side of the line from Cobb Salad, Evelyn's Favorite Pasta and Factory Chopped Salad, where the marker is real. If gluten matters to you, the marked dishes on the menu are the safe order, and this salmon is not one of them. On the vegetarian question, the answer is also no: salmon is fish, and the restaurant does not label this plate vegetarian.
SkinnyLicious or regular: pick your salmon
SkinnyLicious is the lighter plate and, unusually, the cheaper one. It runs 590 calories at $26.95 to $30.95, while the regular Grilled Salmon on the seafood menu runs 1,270 calories at $27.95 to $31.95, so the gap is 680 calories and the SkinnyLicious plate costs less at the median, $27.95 against $29.95. The regular plate has two things this one does not: a lunch version at 940 calories, and the Gluten Free Upon Request marker. Herb Crusted Salmon is heavier still at 1,350 calories. Pick the SkinnyLicious salmon when you want the lightest salmon on the menu and the lower price. Pick the regular when you want the bigger plate, the lunch option, or the marked gluten-free preparation.

The regular Grilled Salmon is 680 calories heavier for a reason, a bigger plate with more on it, so the choice is portion, not quality. It has no marked gluten-free dish and no lunch portion, which is the limit to know before you order it for those reasons.
