How should I prepare salmon for my baby?


When preparing salmon for your baby, it’s best to steam, bake, or poach it until it is fully cooked and easily flaked. Avoid adding any salt.

Can I feed my baby raw salmon?

Should I remove the skin and bones from the salmon?

How much salmon can I give my baby?


Start by offering small amounts of salmon to your baby, about one to two tablespoons at a time. Gradually increase the portion size as your baby becomes more comfortable with eating solids.

What if my baby is allergic to fish?


If you suspect that your baby may have a fish allergy, it’s best to consult with you pediatrician, GP or health visitor. They can provide guidance and perform an allergy test if necessary. In the case of an allergy, avoid introducing fish until advised by a healthcare professional.

When purchasing salmon, look for firm flesh, a mild odor, and clear eyes. Fresh salmon should not have a strong fishy smell or slimy texture.

What other foods can I pair with salmon for my baby’s meals?


You can pair salmon with a variety of complementary foods such as mashed sweet potatoes, steamed vegetables, rice, quinoa, or pureed fruits. Experiment with different combinations to offer a balanced and diverse diet to your baby.
