A cheffy way to cook salmon that's secretly easy. You sear the fillets, then spoon foaming garlic butter over them again and again until every crevice is glossy and rich. It looks like a restaurant plate and lands at a glycemic load of essentially zero.

About This Calculation
Garlic Butter Salmon has a low glycemic load of 0.1 per serving — minimal blood sugar impact — suitable for most people managing diabetes or blood sugar levels.
The primary glycemic load contributor is garlic (GL 0.1). These ingredients account for the majority of the carbohydrate impact per serving.
Glycemic load is calculated as GL = (GI × Net Carbs per serving) ÷ 100, where GI is the glycemic index and net carbs exclude dietary fiber. Calculations draw on established nutritional references including USDA FoodData Central values and peer-reviewed glycemic index research.
