salmon porridge

Started baby r on Salmon on Thursday 28th January 2010. She likes it and finished the whole pot of porridge! the price of the salmon was the same as the cod fish. but i only use one piece of salmon compared to 2 pieces of cod for the porridge. after flaking the salmon, i had so much fish for the porridge. so one piece would be enough! also cos i bought this salmon much earlier in the week, it was kept frozen as a piece. then when i took it out to cut it up... i managed to take off the skin easily! thus saving my time scraping off the scales!

i had been boiling the fish in water then i added the stock which then i ended up with watery porridge which baby r didnt like. she like her porridge thick. so when i cod the salmon, i simply put the fish into the stock and cooked it. then i take out the fish to cool it before flaking it. i continued to cook the porridge. before hand i would have blanched and pureed the spinach and i add it to the stock. off the fire when the porridge is ready and after i flaked the fish, i added it with my fingers feeling it for fish bones and give it a good stir before serving baby r!

Glad baby r loves salmon. Salmon is an oily fish just like cod fish. when baby r turns 8 months old, i will be trying out new dishes and ones would be potato with salmon! when she is much older, i would make her salmon with white sauce! i would have some of it too! mil is not in favour of salmon as she personally dun like the taste of it.
