My daughter turned one a few weeks ago and I now officially cook dinner for a family of four. She graduated from baby purees a few months ago and started eating finger foods. She wanted more and more texture so little by little we made the transition. By avoiding commercial baby food, she is now such and adventorus happy eater.

At home, we all eat the same food. Even my 1 year old eats everything we eat, cut in small pieces of course. But I still remembered the pea puree…….so simple yet so delicious. Homemade baby food tastes so good. I also love peas so I decided to add a little parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt and pepper and make it a family side dish. Salmon served on top and you have a complete meal. This Baked Salmon Over Pea Puree is just wonderful.
You can season your salmon with your favorite fresh herbs, salt and pepper. I like it with dill but it is really up to you and your personal taste. Salmon tastes great plain with just with a little salt. Eating omega-3 fatty acids will bring many health benefits to you and your family.
