Is salmon with sweet potato and asparagus high in oxalate?
Yes. Very high, 76 mg per 1 plate
Range 73 to 79 mg across the studies behind each ingredient
Lower-oxalate swap: use winter squash instead of sweet potato and the dish drops by about 66 mg.
One serving of salmon with sweet potato and asparagus (1 plate) has about 76 mg of oxalate, 152% of the 50 mg a day many stone clinics aim for. Sweet potato carries 92% of it.
If your doctor has put you on a low-oxalate diet, have it with something high in calcium, like milk, yogurt or cheese. Calcium in the same meal binds oxalate in the gut, so less of it reaches your urine.
