Cooked Salmon (1 Medium Salmon Steak (5/8 Inches Thick)) and Potato (1 Medium (2 1/4 Inches To 3 Inches Dia, Raw))

Keep the salmon portion the same, but reduce the portion of the starchy side and increase non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, zucchini, or green beans.

Replace part of the starchy side with lentils, chickpeas, or beans to add fiber and slow carbohydrate absorption.

Add a fat- and fiber-containing accompaniment, such as avocado, chia seeds, or a small handful of almonds, rather than eating the starch alone.

Eat the salmon and vegetables first, then the starchy portion last; this meal order may blunt the post-meal rise.

Avoid sugary drinks, sweet sauces, and large dessert portions with this meal; choose water or unsweetened tea instead.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
