Recipes for introducing fish to your baby. Current guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics is to offer the common allergens early, around 6 months once a few first foods are going well, and to keep offering them regularly. These recipes use fish in a baby-safe form and show how much is in each serving, so you can introduce it on purpose and keep it in rotation.

Every recipe on Heartful Sprout is checked against USDA nutrition data and tagged by stage, texture, and allergen, so you can match it to where your child is right now. Save favorites, add them to a meal plan in the app, and share the week with your pediatrician or dietitian.

Salmon cakes

These golden, crunchy salmon cakes are simple, tasty and really easy to prepare. Best of all they are made from pantry staples, making them a wonderful budget-friendly dinner. Another great reason to make these salmon cakes is that you can add any leftover ingredients that you have in the fridge like: fresh herbs (parsley, dill and coriander work well), finely grated lemon rind, chopped chilli, capers, garlic or even some wholegrain mustard. Got a pantry stocked with lots of herbs and spices? Why not add some dried Italian herbs, smoked paprika, lemon pepper seasoning or Mexican chilli powder. Not just for dinner, send these tasty patties off too school with the kids in their chilled lunch box for a wonderful change to their usual sandwich. Source: kidspot
