Overview
Cooked Salmon is a food item in the Food category of Minecraft, obtained through smelting (Furnace, Smoker, Campfire). A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Cooked Salmon. Eating it restores 6 hunger (3 drumsticks) and 9.6 saturation points.
Restoring 6 hunger and 9.6 saturation, Cooked Salmon keeps your hunger bar topped up so natural health regeneration can continue; higher saturation means you stay full for longer before needing to eat again. Generated chests only ever hold Cooked Salmon in one place: buried treasure (about 75%, 2 to 4 at a time).

Cooking Cooked Salmon
Cooked Salmon comes out of Raw Salmon, and a smoker, a furnace or a campfire will each do it. Timing runs from 5 seconds in the smoker to 30 in the campfire. Each Cooked Salmon hands back 0.35 experience, and 64 Cooked Salmon make 22.4. That is the difference between 2 hunger uncooked and 6 after the fire, with saturation going from 0.4 to 9.6.
Mobs That Drop Cooked Salmon
Polar Bear and Salmon drop Cooked Salmon only while burning, so it takes Fire Aspect or a fire underneath to get it straight from the mob.
Eating Cooked Salmon
4 helpings clear an empty hunger bar, at 1.6 seconds each, which is 6.4 seconds before Cooked Salmon has done the job. Per point of hunger you get 1.6 saturation out of Cooked Salmon, and saturation is what drains before hunger does. That is 6 of 37 on saturation, between Cooked Mutton at 9.6 and Enchanted Golden Apple at 9.6.
Notes
Cooked in a Furnace, Smoker, or Campfire.
