NOTES:

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

There are many ways this can be served to your baby depending on your baby’s age & weaning stage.

OPTION 1 (FOR BABY AROUND 6 MONTHS)

Add some of the salmon, sauce & rice to a blender and pulse until almost smooth.

OPTION 2 (BABY LED WEANING / FINGER FOOD FROM 6-12 MONTHS+)

Remove some of the softly poached salmon onto a plate with some of the sauce, green beans and rice. Allow baby to pick up with their fingers. Beans should be soft enough so that they can be squashed between thumb and fore finger. Some rice can be pre -loaded onto a spoon for baby to begin to learn skill of using cutlery.

OPTION 3 (FOR BABY 7-9 MONTHS) – Serve mashed with small lumps

OPTION 4 – (FOR BABY 10-12 MONTHS) – Serve chopped with bigger lumps.
