What's in it

Tap any ingredient for its safe form at your baby's age — the recipe assumes those preps.

Steps

  1. 01Flake 2 tbsp cooked salmon, checking twice for pin bones.
  2. 02Smash a quarter of a ripe avocado on top with a fork.
  3. 03Mix until the salmon binds — the avocado keeps flakes moist.
  4. 04Serve as a mash, or spread onto a soft toast strip from 9 months.

Why it works

Avocado's fat mellows salmon's strong flavor for first fish exposures and keeps every bite moist — a gentle vehicle for the fish allergen with omega-3s on board.

Storage

Serve fresh; cooked salmon keeps 48 hours in the fridge — mix each portion just before serving.
