Salmon recipe for toddler

Salmon pasta – perfect finger food for picky-eaters

A refined and tasty salmon recipe for toddler. The pasta is rich in carbonhydrate which your child needs for the development of his or her brain. Salmon contains a lot of fat and also has a good amount of vitamine B6. This dish is a good choice for picky eaters because you can "hide" the salmon inside the pasta and thus make it more appealing to some children.
