Salmon 2-ways

This is such an all-round delicious & nutritious recipe I have created two versions, a puree and a finger food. It’s important to include oily fish like salmon in your baby’s diet from 6 months as the essential fatty acids are vital for their brain and visual development.

The Itsy Blitz® allows you to take your family meal and blitz up a baby sized portion taken from it in seconds. So why not try this delicious Salmon with Salsa recipe for your dinner and use some of the leftover salmon to blitz up one of these recipes for your baby.
