Ingredients
Chinese-Cabbage Mash with Salmon
- Ingredients
- 5 ozs Napa cabbage
- 1 small potato (about 50 grams)
- 1 oz Salmon
- 1 jigger Apple juice
- 1 Tbsp Canola oil
Rinse cabbage, pat dry and cut into thin strips.
Scrub potato and cut into 1 cm (approximately 1/2-inch) cubes.
In a small pot, bring 90 ml (approximately 1/3 cup) water to a boil. Add cabbage and potato, cover and cook over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, examine salmon fillet thoroughly and remove any bones with tweezers.
Rinse salmon, pat dry and cut into small pieces. Add enough apple juice to porridge to achieve desired consistency. Add salmon and vegetables and let simmer until fish is cooked through and vegetables are tender, 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the oil and puree with an immersion blender. Feed 1 serving immediately. Freeze the rest in single-serve portions.

Healthy, because
Besides herring and mackerel, salmon contains the most fish oil. With its omega-3 fatty acids, it is particularly important for your baby's brain development. In addition, sea fish provides iodine for the thyroid gland.
Even smarter
You can also replace Chinese cabbage with broccoli, which is also mild. And for salmon you can use frozen foods - but then the cooking time is extended by a few minutes.
