Baby Food Recipe - Tasty Salmon Puree
It’s important to encourage a liking for fish early on. This Salmon Puree baby food recipe is quick and easy to prepare and combining it with root vegetables is a good way to introduce fish to your baby. Oily fish like salmon, trout, tuna and sardines are especially good as they contain omega-3 essential fatty acids which are very important for visual and brain development. Tinned tuna however does not contain omega 3s only fresh tuna.
Its true that fish is good for the brain - omega-3 essential fatty acids are found in oily fish and they make up 40% of the brain. A baby’s brain grows rapidly between birth and three years and most of the growth takes place in the first year.

Ingredients200g carrots, topped and tailed and sliced
MethodPut the carrots into a saucepan, cover with water, bring to the boil and cook over a medium heat for about 20 minutes until tender. Alternatively, place the vegetables in a steamer and cook for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, place the salmon in a suitable dish, pour over the orange juice and scatter over the cheese. Cover, leaving an air vent and microwave on high for about 2 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork . Alternatively, cover with foil and cook in a pre-heated oven for about 20 minutes. Flake the fish with a fork, carefully removing any bones. Drain the carrots, mix with the butter and milk and puree in a blender together with the flaked fish and its sauce. For older babies, mash the carrots together with the butter and the milk and then mix the flaked fish with the mashed carrots.

Great recipe although I thought babies under 12 months were not allowed milk without it being cooked? (Because of the proteins for allergies?) This recipe does not indicate this, perhaps you need to change it?

My little boy loves this - and I think it tastes pretty good too! I'm thinking of trying a non-pureed variation of this for the rest of the family.

Is it ok to use frozen fillets, thaw them, cook this recipe then freeze individual portions?

My little boy makes lots of 'mmmmm' noises between mouthfuls - the sign of a very good recipe I think!
