Our best tip: Salmon is a low-mercury fish with fins and scales. Always run your fingers through it for pin bones.
Baby food safety: check with your pediatrician before starting solids or introducing allergens. Never give honey before 12 months, add no salt or sugar, cool food to lukewarm and test the temperature, and always seat and supervise your baby while eating. Introduce one new food at a time and watch for reactions.

Ingredients
- 4 oz skinless salmon fillet
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 2 tbsp breast milk, formula or water
Instructions
- Steam the sweet potato 15 minutes. Add the salmon to the steamer for the last 8 minutes, until it flakes easily and reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Flake the salmon and check very carefully for bones with your fingers.
- Mash together with the liquid to a soft, lumpy texture. Refrigerate up to 3 days, or freeze in a covered ice cube tray, then move cubes to a labeled freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
Notes: Salmon is a low-mercury fish with fins and scales. Always run your fingers through it for pin bones. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
