The biggest worry there is the sauce.

Now as for the salmon, it's protein. Some diabetics find they need to account for protein by converting it to an equivalent number of carbs, some find protein has little or no effect upon their blood sugar.

The best way to approach it, IMO, is try to find an accurate count on the carbs for the beans and sauce. Bolus for that, then monitor BGLs afterwards. If 3 or 4 hours later you're finding your sugars are remaining higher than expected, the protein of the salmon may be having effect.

Of course, this also rather dependent on if you've got your basal pretty well on target and all that.

Just keep making records, and making notes. And when trying something out, aim conservative so as to let your sugars maybe be a bit high rather than plummeting low.
