Produce can be expensive. I tend to keep frozen on hand for when I run out then buy fresh a few days at a time. Not sure if you buy those bags of pre-mixed salads but they are a rip off. Eating seasonally can also save a lot as well as getting a couple of planters going, I've been having free zucchini and kale from the neighbor for a couple of months now, been trading tomatoes and peppers I grew.

Chicken and salmon are pretty pricey, might want to to mix in legs, thighs or even buy whole chicken to roast which lasts a few days. Other cuts of fish are also much cheaper than salmon. You can by whole sides of fish at Costco for a better price then portion it yourself. Mixing in some pork and larger cuts like roasts or hams can save a lot. As mentioned before, call around to some local butcher shops, I buy 3-6 months worth at a time and it's a lot cheaper, quality is better than the supermarkets also.

Anyway hope you get it under control and start saving money, there is freedom in not owing anybody money.
