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, generally around 6 months.

  • 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. 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, 2 finger-width pieces of the cooked fish. This will make it easier for baby to grab with their palm.

Unlike with beef, chicken, tofu, etc. which I knew my baby would just hold and suck on during the early stage of starting, I was very nervous about serving big pieces of salmon because it is so flaky.

So if you’re in the same boat, you can 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

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.
