Ingredients
Method

225g carrots (peeled and sliced)
150g salmon fillet
½ tsp milk (or enough to cover the salmon, see method for details)
30g butter
2 tomatoes (ripe, skinned and desseded), chopped
40g cheddar cheese, grated

Put the carrots in a steamer set over a pan of boiling water and cook for 15–20 minutes or until tender
Meanwhile, place the fish in a microwave dish, add the milk, dot with half the butter and cover, leaving an air vent
Microwave on High for 1½ –2 minutes
Alternatively, put the salmon in a pan, pour over enough milk to just cover and simmer for about 4 minutes or until cooked
Melt the remaining butter in a saucepan, add the tomatoes and sauté until softened and slightly mushy
Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese until melted - blend the cooked carrots with the tomato mixture
Drain the cooking liquor from the fish, remove the skin and check there are no bones
Flake the fish and mix it with the carrots and tomatoes
For younger babies you can blend the fish together with the carrots and tomato for a smoother texture

I made this for my 3 little ones the other day 1,3 and 5 years old and they all ate it and my eldest even asked for more. I find all of Annabelle's recipes easy to follow and my little ones love them all as they are full of flavour and goodness too!
