A full sheet-pan dinner with a sweet-and-sharp glaze. Salmon roasts alongside golden baby potatoes and crisp-tender broccolini, all brought together by a maple-mustard sauce with a whisper of smoked paprika. It eats like a treat and lands at a glycemic load of 19.1.

Maple-Mustard Salmon with Veggies has a medium glycemic load of 19.1 per serving — moderate blood sugar impact — portion size and meal composition matter.
The primary glycemic load contributors are baby multicolored potatoes (GL 15.2), pure maple syrup (GL 3.6), orange juice (GL 0.2). 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.
