Just had to follow up regarding this ... seems my son and I have different taste as he loves this! :-) Which can only be a good thing. Will continue to cook double batches and then customise mine! :-)

I tried this for the first time last night and I was a bit disappointed to be honest. But I'm not sure if it was down to my own mistakes. I decided to make this for my 17 month old son and not puree it, but to keep it chunky. I did use half sweetcorn and half pea's instead of all the sweetcorn and the weight of the salmon was slightly under (I did a double batch as I had two salmon steaks and made one portion for me). Found the cooking time not enough to soften the carrots enough, and buy thus cooking longer the onions and celery seemed to loose their flavour. I just found it a bit bland, even with the great ingredients. It's almost as if it needs seasoning - but I was too sceptical to put in any salt (even though my son is 17 months and can take small amounts) so was left floundering as how to make it any better. What seasoning would you recommend for toddlers to make this a bit more tasty?
