Pesto Baked Salmon
Suitable for Babies and Toddlers 9 Months and Older
One of Eller’s favorite foods is salmon and this recipe is no exception! He has been eating salmon since he was 5 months old and loving it. It is such a great first food -full of awesome nutrients!
Feel free to make your own pesto but I love the Trader Joe’s one so that’s my go to and makes this baby led weaning recipe even easier. I serve with roasted vegetables but you could also serve with pasta or rice!
