Baby’s First Salmon Bowl

This recipe is for 7 months & up

I am so excited for this one! I love a good salmon bowl and I want my little guy growing up loving and eating it with me as well. Fish is a wonderful protein to introduce to baby and if you are able to buy wild caught salmon when it’s in season or frozen even better! This salmon bowl has all the essential nutrients baby needs. It’s loaded with iron, zinc, omega-3, iodine, Vitamin B12 and more. Fish is a great source of DHA, which promotes brain health, eye health and a healthy immune system. Fish is considered an allergen so if this is your first time introducing it I would suggest starting with a small amount, midday to monitor and make sure there is no allergic reactions.

When picking fish for baby, choose ones that are low in mercury and high in omega-3.

Best Options:

• Salmon: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and low in mercury.
• Trout: Another good source of omega-3s and low in mercury.
• Haddock: A mild-flavored white fish that is low in mercury.
• Cod: Low in mercury and high in protein.
• Tilapia: Low in mercury and has a mild taste.
• Sardines: Packed with omega-3s and low in mercury (ensure bones are removed for babies).
• Flounder: Low in mercury and a good source of protein.
