  Prepare the ingredients

  Fresh salmon should be rinsed with ginger juice to eliminate the fishy smell, then washed thoroughly with cold water. Next, remove the bones from the flesh and pat the fish dry.

  Peel the green squash, remove the seeds, cut it into small pieces, then wash and drain in a colander.

  Ways to eliminate the fishy smell of salmon fillet

  • Method 1: Add 2 – 3 tablespoons of lemon juice along with 1 teaspoon of salt and the salmon fillet into a bowl of water, let it sit for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, then rinse with clean water.
  • Method 2: Place the salmon fillet in a bowl of white wine (or vinegar), soak for about 8 – 10 minutes, then remove and rinse with clean water.
  • Method 3: Soak the salmon fillet in unsweetened milk for about 10 minutes, then rinse it clean and let it drain.
  • Method 4: To eliminate the fishy smell and make the fish taste better, use fresh ginger juice to marinate the fish.

  Steam salmon and boil zucchini

  You place a pot of water on the stove, with about one finger’s worth of water, then bring it to a boil, then place the salmon in a bowl and put it into the boiling water, cover and steam for about 5 minutes.

  Next, you place a pot of boiling water on the stove and boil the zucchini for about 5 minutes or until the zucchini is translucent and cooked.

  Tip: For zucchini, to save time you can cut it into thin slices and steam it with the salmon or use zucchini in your family’s soup as well!

  Shred the salmon meat

  You take the steamed salmon out and place it in a baby food maker, use a fork to shred the meat into small pieces and mash it until the meat is fluffy and smooth.

  Tip:

  • If you don’t have a baby food maker, you can place it in a normal bowl and use a fork to fluff the salmon meat.
  • To save time, you can prepare a larger amount of salmon and store it in a small glass jar in the refrigerator for your baby to eat later.

  Mash the zucchini

  After boiling, you treat the zucchini similarly to the salmon by putting it into the baby food tool and mashing it until there are no lumps left to avoid making it difficult for the baby to swallow.

  Tip: You can also put it into a blender to quickly puree the zucchini smoother.

  Add the mashed zucchini and fish to the prepared porridge

  Prepare a bowl of pre-cooked porridge, add the shredded salmon on top, and heat the bowl in the microwave for about 20 – 30 seconds at medium level.

  Tip: To save time, if your family does not have a microwave, you can place the bowl of porridge in a bowl of boiling water to heat it up, then add the fish and zucchini without needing to use the microwave.
