Of the options provided, bananas are rich in potassium. Milk and salmon are not typically considered high-potassium foods.

Other foods that are high in potassium include:

- Sweet potatoes
- White potatoes (with skin)
- Tomatoes
- Spinach
- Avocado
- Beans (e.g., kidney beans, lima beans, soybeans)
- Yogurt
- Orange juice

It is important to follow the specific dietary recommendations provided by the healthcare provider to ensure an appropriate balance of nutrients and medications.
