Salmon & Pea Mash for Babies

Salmon and cooked peas create a moist fish-and-vegetable mash. The essential checks are full cooking, removal of every fish bone and crushing the peas rather than leaving whole round peas.

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Steam or bake salmon until the thickest part reaches 63°C (145°F), checking with a food thermometer. Remove skin and inspect every flake carefully for bones.

  2. Cook peas until completely tender, then mash them so no whole round peas remain.

  3. Blend or finely mash salmon and peas together, adding a little safe water if necessary to create a moist spoonable texture. Cool before serving.

Serving by Age

Examine salmon carefully for bones and skin, then flake and mash it with thoroughly cooked peas. No intact round peas should remain for an early eater; keep the mixture moist and spoonable.
