This recipe is for from my book Milk to Meals and its an easy oven baked fish with pineapple salsa and chips.
Fish is a beautiful food for babies, soft and tender and nutrient dense, so its such an easy one to share with them. Its also an amazing food for pregnancy and postpartum, so atleast if you’re eating your toddlers leftovers, you will be benefiting! Full of omega 3/DHA for developing brains (and mum brain)!
The beauty of this recipe is that its so quick to make, and can be easily adapted for your baby.. I have paired mine with a fresh pineapple salsa because its summer here in Australia, and the kids always think fruit for dinner is a novelty!
For BLW i have served with the pineapple core which is a great ‘hard munchable’ food – which is a food that helps our babies sensory processes. It is essentially a food they cannot choke on as its too hard/large to get into the airway, so its great for teething, mapping the mouth, and for them to learn the action of chewing without the risk – a great way to introduce finger foods if it worries you!
I have also paired with some sauerkraut for probiotics!
For the puree I have added the pineapple, fish, potato, sauerkraut and some water.
