Smoked Salmon (100 G)

Choose plain smoked salmon without sweet glazes, honey, maple, teriyaki, or sugar-heavy curing ingredients; check labels for added sugars.

Keep the portion moderate and pair it with fiber-rich, low-starch vegetables such as cucumber, leafy greens, broccoli, or bell peppers.

Avoid serving it with white bagels, crackers, sweet sauces, or large portions of potatoes; use lettuce wraps or cucumber rounds instead.

Add a source of unsaturated fat and fiber, such as avocado, olives, or a small handful of nuts, to slow digestion.

Eat the salmon as part of a balanced meal rather than alone if protein-heavy meals tend to raise your readings; include non-starchy vegetables and a small portion of beans or lentils if tolerated.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating and compare your response across different salmon brands, portions, and accompaniments.
