"text": " Potatoes often get a bad rap due to their carb content, but they have many nutritional attributes, especially when eaten with the skin on. Potatoes provide vitamin C<\/a>, potassium and fiber, and contain a special type of carbohydrate called resistant starch, which feeds your beneficial gut bacteria. Due to their carbohydrate content, potatoes may cause a spike in blood sugar, but eating them with protein, such as salmon, can help reduce the spike.<\/p>"

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": " Give the potatoes a 30-minute head start to soften in the oven before adding the vegetables and salmon. The vegetables and salmon cook more quickly, so roasting in stages is how everything finishes cooking at the same time.<\/p>"

"@type": "Answer",
"text": " If you have an instant-read thermometer, insert it into the thickest part of the salmon until it registers 145°F. It's best to use an instant-read thermometer to check for internal doneness, but there are a couple of cues to look for if you don't have one. Salmon is cooked when it turns opaque all the way through and flakes easily with a fork.<\/p>"

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": " We squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and vegetables and then sprinkle the top with lemon zest. It's simple and allows the flavors of the salmon and vegetables to shine. For a boost of flavor, you can also serve the meal with creamy and tangy sauces like Tzatziki<\/a>, Dill Mustard Sauce<\/a>, or Creamy Yogurt-Dill Sauce<\/a> on the side.
