About This Calculation

Miso Salmon Recipe has a medium glycemic load of 10.6 per serving — moderate blood sugar impact — portion size and meal composition matter.

The primary glycemic load contributors are mirin (sweet rice wine) (GL 9.2), white miso paste (GL 1.4), 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.
