About Texas Roadhouse Grilled Salmon
The Grilled Salmon is the steakhouse's best-kept fish secret: a fillet grilled over the same fire as the sirloins, finished with lemon pepper butter, $16.49 for the 5 oz or $19.99 for the 8 oz with two sides. Regulars rank it among the most consistent plates in the building because the grill line treats it exactly like a steak: seasoned, seared, rested.
At 720 calories for the 5 oz plate with its butter, it balances indulgence and sense in a way little else on the menu manages. Pair it with green beans and seasoned rice and the plate reads like it came from a restaurant twice the price.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the salmon at Texas Roadhouse?
The 5 oz is $16.49 and the 8 oz is $19.99, both with lemon pepper butter and two sides.
How many calories is the salmon?
About 720 for the 5 oz and 880 for the 8 oz, including the butter finish.
Is the salmon fresh or frozen?
Like most non-coastal restaurants it arrives frozen-at-sea and thaws in-house, then grills to order. The treatment matters more than the label.
What doneness does it come?
Grilled through with a moist center by default. Ask for medium if you like a rosier middle; the grill obliges.
What sides suit the salmon?
Seasoned rice and steamed broccoli keep it elegant; the loaded sweet potato takes it somewhere else entirely.
