Cooked Salmon at a glance
Minecraft files Cooked Salmon under Food: a food item you get from smelting (Furnace, Smoker, Campfire). Carrying Cooked Salmon is cheap: 64 to a slot, 576 across the hotbar, 1728 in a chest. Hunger goes up 6 and saturation 9.6 when you eat Cooked Salmon, so 3 drumsticks a time.
6 hunger back per Cooked Salmon keeps natural regeneration running, and the 9.6 saturation behind it is what buys you the time until the next meal, rather longer than the hunger number on its own suggests. Generated chests only ever hold Cooked Salmon in one place: buried treasure (about 75%, 2 to 4 at a time). It sits between Cooked Porkchop and Cookie in Food, number 14 of 37 there.

Cooking
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 it
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
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.
