• 4 salmon fillets, 4 oz (115 g) each — GI: 0
• 1/3 cup no‑sugar‑added canned peach purée or 1/3 cup fresh peach purée (blend peeled peach) — GI: peach purée ~42 (small amount)
• 2 tbsp tomato passata or no‑sugar ketchup — GI: 30
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar — GI: 0
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard — GI: 0
• 1 tbsp low‑sodium soy sauce (optional, for umami) — GI: 15
• 1 tsp smoked paprika or 1/2 tsp liquid smoke — GI: 0
• 1–2 tbsp erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (or 1 tsp honey) — GI: 0 (erythritol) / 61 (honey)
• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger — GI: 0
• 1 clove garlic, minced — GI: 0
• 1 tsp olive oil (for pan searing) or cooking spray — GI: 0
• Salt and pepper to taste — GI: 0
• Lemon wedges and chopped cilantro or parsley for garnish — GI: 0

Cooking instructions

1. Make glaze: in a small saucepan combine peach purée, passata, apple cider vinegar, Dijon, soy sauce (if using), smoked paprika, grated ginger, garlic, and sweetener. Simmer gently 6–8 minutes until slightly thickened. Taste and adjust acidity/sweetness. Keep warm.
2. Prep salmon: pat fillets dry, season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Cook salmon:

• Pan‑sear: heat 1 tsp olive oil in nonstick skillet over medium‑high. Place salmon skin‑side down; cook 3–4 minutes until skin is crisp, flip and cook 2–3 minutes until just cooked (internal ~125–130°F for medium). Brush glaze over salmon in the last minute and let caramelize slightly.
• Grill: preheat grill to medium‑high, oil grates. Grill skin‑side down 4–5 minutes, flip, brush glaze and grill 1–2 more minutes until done.

4. Serve: plate salmon and spoon extra glaze alongside. Garnish with lemon and herbs.

Flavor profile explanation

• Sweet‑tangy peach balanced by vinegar and mustard, smoky paprika for Southern character, fresh ginger for brightness. Salmon’s richness pairs well with the modest glaze without excess sugar.

Serving size

Type‑2 Diabetic Friendly explanation

• Salmon supplies protein and omega‑3s that slow glucose absorption and support cardiovascular health. Peach‑based glaze uses no‑sugar purée and non‑nutritive sweetener or tiny honey to keep added sugars very low. Pair with grilled vegetables or a large green salad for fiber and volume.

Make‑ahead & tips

• Pulled chicken: make in advance and reheat gently; it freezes well.
• Salmon glaze: make extra and store refrigerated up to 4 days; reheat gently.
• Swap: use skinless chicken thighs instead of salmon for pulled BBQ variation (adjust cooking times).
