Ingredients
Ingredient Checklist
- 1 (6-ounce) salmon fillet (about 1-inch thick)

- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons low-fat balsamic vinaigrette
- 1 lemon
Directions
Instructions Checklist
- Step 1 Heat a nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat fish with cooking spray. Add fish to pan, and cook 6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
- Step 2 While fish cooks, pierce potatoes with a fork; arrange in a circle on paper towels in a microwave oven. Microwave at HIGH 8–10 minutes, turning potatoes after 5 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes.
- Step 3 Cut the cooked potatoes in half, and sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese.
- Step 4 Combine greens, tomatoes, and vinaigrette in a bowl; toss gently.
- Step 5 Cut lemon in half, and squeeze lemon juice over fish. Serve salmon with potatoes and salad.
- Step 6 Carb Star: Potatoes
- Step 7 1 to 7 grams of Resistant Starch
- Step 8 In addition to fiber and Resistant Starch, potatoes are a natural source of a proteinase inhibitor, a natural chemical that boosts satiety hormones and curbs appetite. Potatoes are also incredibly filling and—at 300 calories for a large, baked spud—great for weight loss.
