Recipe- Offer Healthy Fats To Kids With This Wild Salmon Salad Sandwich

Offering up healthy fats to our kids is easy when you keep a can of wild salmon on hand to make a simple open-face Salmon Salad Sandwich. The process is easy and doesn’t require any fancy tools–and a healthy kids meal can be ready in about 5 minutes!

This recipe for Salmon Salad is a simple mix of canned wild salmon and a few flavorings. It’s a protein-packed riff on tuna salad that’s mild in flavor and includes a nice dose of the healthy fats that our kids need for proper brain development. It’s also a great meal for a busy parent since it’s loaded with long-lasting energy and comes together really quickly.

I love to serve this Salmon Salad on lightly toasted bread for an open-face sandwich that’s easy for toddlers to eat. This is something that both of my girls enjoyed when they were babies and then 1 year olds. (They grew to have stronger opinions about the recipe when they were two, and the older one has come back around to it now that she’s almost 7!)
