Brite (1 ml) and Smoked Salmon (100 G)

Check the smoked-salmon label for added sugar, honey, maple syrup, sweet glazes, or sugary sauces; choose a plain, unsweetened version when possible.

Keep the portion of any accompanying crackers, bagels, rice, or sweet sauce small, since these are more likely than the salmon itself to drive the rise.

Pair the salmon with non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, leafy greens, tomatoes, broccoli, or avocado rather than refined carbohydrates.

If you want a starch alongside it, choose a modest serving of lentils, chickpeas, or steel-cut oats instead of white bread or crackers.

Eat slowly and have the salmon as part of a balanced meal with protein, vegetables, and healthy fats rather than as part of a high-carbohydrate snack.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if safe and appropriate for you, to help reduce the post-meal rise.
