Which makes this salmon recipe for toddlers 12 months plus the perfect finger food and introduction to super salmon! The mini salmon patties are easy for little ones to hold, nibble on and fun to dip in the beetroot dip! And the best bit, they are healthy. Prepared by Australia’s leading nutritionist and mum to two younglings, Susie Burrell, this salmon recipe for toddlers is not only healthy, but packs in a super amount of brain fuelling proteins, Omega-3 and B-group vitamins.
“Salmon contains high sources of protein, is rich in Omega-3 and range of B group,” explains Susie. “Fuelling my family with the right foods is a key part of my role as a mum and salmon is one of the most nutrient dense options out there. Rich in Omega-3 fats, high in protein, contains vitamin D, Vitamin E and a range of B group vitamins and antioxidants I feed it to my family at least 2-3 times every week to give them all the health benefits it offers.”
