Baby – Easy Peasy Fish Supper
Excerpt
Toddler – Individual Salmon Fish Pie
This recipe was chosen as a winning recipe in our Parent Recipe Competition
Author: Michelle Kirk, Louth
Serves 7+ Toddlers
Pan fried mackerel with mash and tomato stew
Nowadays, you’ll often hear people on radio and television talking about ‘good fats’ and ‘bad fats’, and they urge you to eat more oily fish for your intake of ‘good fats’. Well, let me tell you, that mackerel is one of the best examples of a good oily fish. As well as this important health factor, mackerel is also great value for money and has a lovely meaty texture.
Serves 4
To Serve:
Place mashed potato in centre of plate and spoon some stewed tomatoes beside it. Place fish on the mash and drizzle with pesto.
Baby – Herb crusted cod fillets with butternut squash
Cod is a delicious meaty fish and a fantastic source of protein for your baby or toddler. Your fishmonger will pin bone your fillets for you to remove any small bones.
Serves 3
To Serve: Purée, mash or flake the cod fillet to the consistency required (depending on weaning stage). Alter the butternut squash and cherry tomatoes to the consistency required — leave soft and whole for older babies as they can pick them up with their hands.
