Baked or Broiled Salmon (1 Medium Salmon Steak (5/8 Inches Thick))

Check for hidden sugars in marinades, glazes, rubs, and sauces; choose lemon, herbs, garlic, vinegar, mustard without added sugar, or olive oil instead.

Eat the salmon with non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, asparagus, spinach, zucchini, or leafy salad rather than sweet sauces or refined starch sides.

Keep portion sizes consistent and avoid pairing the meal with bread, rice, potatoes, sugary drinks, or dessert if these raise your readings.

Try starting the meal with a fiber-rich salad dressed with olive oil and vinegar, then eat the salmon and vegetables.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating, if this is safe for you.

Compare readings after plain baked salmon versus salmon prepared with your usual seasoning to identify whether an added ingredient is driving the rise.
