    Salmon For Babies

    This low-mercury fish is a nutrient powerhouse and can be introduced as soon as your baby is ready to start solids

    Is your baby 6 months old and up?

    I NEED IT NOW!
    • Delivers a healthy punch of omega-3 fatty acids during this time of rapid brain development.
    • Is a great source of high-quality protein.
    • Is one of the few natural food sources of vitamin D.
    • Contains many other essential nutrients for babies, including zinc, iron, and calcium.

    I recommend looking for wild-caught Alaskan salmon, which contains less toxins, is more flavorful, and raised sustainably. And give this low sodium Teriyaki glazed salmon a try!

    Canned salmon is also a great choice. Look for ones that are labeled no-salt-added or low-sodium and BPA free.

    How to prepare salmon for baby led weaning

    Remove all the bones and cook until it's cooked through and flaky. Offer finger-shaped, 1-2 finger-width pieces of the cooked fish. This will make it easier for baby to grab with their palm.

    You can also flake the cooked salmon into tiny pieces for younger babies. If you're doing baby led weaning, these small pieces are hard to pick up for babies who haven't developed the pincer grasp yet. In that case, I suggest mixing into oatmeal, rice, yogurt, mashed vegetables, etc to make it easier for the baby to eat

    You can also do the same using canned salmon. Just be sure to give it a good rinse. Or make this super easy and delicious SALMON QUICHE!!

    Ingredients

    Vegetables. Feel free to use whatever you have on hand.

    Eggs. Here are some more baby-friendly egg recipes! You'll also find answers to your burning questions like when can you introduce eggs? How many per day? etc.

    Step by Step Instructions

    process shots with all the ingredients mixed in a glass bowl on the left and batter transferred to a muffin pan on the right

    Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, making sure the yogurt loosens up and gets well-incorporated into the mixture.

    Transfer to a 12-cup muffin pan. I LOVE to use my silicone pan (affiliate link) for this because I don't have to deal with the glued-on egg nightmare that for whatever reason I inevitably face even when I grease a non-silicone pan.

    Top with cheese, if you wish.

    Storage Suggestions

    In the fridge. Store in an airtight container for 3-5 days.

    In the freezer. Flash freeze and store in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.

    How to Reheat

        If using fresh salmon then yes needs to be cooked first. Otherwise there's no need!

      Was looking for lunch idea for my 9 month old while we are in iso due to covid and saw this recipe but i onitted salmon and made them as veges egg crustless quiches instead. My girl loves it and demolished it in no time! Love how I can also freeze these.

      Nice and moist and I use winter frozen veges bag we use to make stir fry for convenience without the prep. I did 'steamed' those in a bowl, with cling wrap over the top before cutting them to smaller pieces and then putting them to mixture for baking. Love your ig, sending love from Melbourne

      Hello there,
      This looks simple enough to try for my 11month old.
      Can I substitute the greek yogurt with non-dairy yogurt (almond milk based)? If not, what's a good substitatue?

      Thanks

            I do recommend adding as it helps make the quiche moist while boosting nutrition.
