This White Fish + Carrot + Leek Baby Food Puree is a great basic starter fish recipe for baby and takes just 20 minutes to make. Fish is such an amazing puree for babies and should definitely be on the weekly recipe rotation! It’s so easy to make into a healthy, homemade puree loaded with omega-3’s and essential nutrients. Great for 6+ months and up!

It took me awhile to figure out that this was the first ever fish puree that I have made for this blog 🤦‍♀️ which is a shame because fish is such an amazing puree for babies and an item that should be on a weekly baby food puree rotation.

Let’s first talk about why fish is sssoooooooo amazing for your little one, not only is it filled with omega-3 fatty acids which are essential nutrients that help boost development ofbaby’s brain and nervous system butfish is also rich in protein that will help baby grow big and strong. I get really hyped about all food but hands down fish is one thing that you should be feeding to your baby and toddler. No joking when I say that fish can (I’m using bullet points here because I’m serious)–

Blackened Cod (15 Minute Recipe)

The key to helping baby (and toddler)like fish is to start with a mild white fish that doesn’t have an overpowering smell.

I personally lovetilapia but sea bass, cod and halibut are also great to use. Once baby starts to build up their taste for fish, you can start to introduce them to salmon, muhi-muhi or tuna. All fish can be made into a baby food puree but broiling, poachingor bakingand then blendingwith a little water or stock. Add to your favorite vegetable puree for a well balance meal.

Apuree that iscreamy and mild and made with bright carrots, smooth leeks and a flaky white fish –all gently steamed together and then blended for a puree that baby will probably first sniff at with a questioning look and thendevour in no time at all.

Freezer – can be frozen for up to 2 months (this and this are my favorite freezer storage containers).This poached cod with creamy orzo is a no-fail fish and pasta recipe that is SO easy to make and can be ready in 30 minutes!

Baby Food: Cod With Root Veg And Rice

In 30 minutes, you will be enjoying this creamy, velvety pasta with the most tender cod with your entire family! It's thick enough to be scooped up with tiny hands, making it perfect for baby led weaning ;).

First of all, cod can be introduced as soon as baby is ready for solids, usually around 6 months. If you're unsure whether or not your baby is developmentally ready to start solids, sign up below!

Cod is an excellent source of B12, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and iodine. It's great for supporting optimal brain development and immune system.

I highly advise you to poach in milk (along with tomatoes, aromatics, etc.). This lean delicate, mild-tasting fish will just suck up all that rich flavor!

You will need a deep skillet as higher sides will ensure there's plenty of room for all the ingredients and keep them submerged.

If you do a lot of one pot meals like I do, THIS pan..oh man, it's worth EVERY penny. My husband recently bought this for me, and I'm not kidding when I say the dishes come out more evenly cooked, moist and flavorful!

I also love that it has a tempered glass lid that makes it perfect to keep an eye on how everything’s cooking.

Clean up is a breeze too! Enameled cast iron is a nonstick coating that I feel good about using for my family. The only downside is it's a bit on the heavy side but hey! I could use some arm exercise ;).

Cod: I like to use the frozen, wild-caught from Alaska. It's always in my freezer for quick weeknight meals. You can also use other white fish or salmon.

Orzo: I LOVE using orzo for a quick weeknight meal! You can cook it like risotto without having to stir constantly. The starch from orzo helps thicken a creamy sauce.Thick sauce is everything when it comes to baby led weaning as it helps bind other ingredients, so less chance of pasta, tiny grains (like quinoa), lentils, etc. flying across the room. Can I get an amen? 😉

Baby bok choy: this cruciferous vegetable is a common ingredient in Asian cuisine. It has a mild, cabbage-like flavor. You can substitute with green cabbage or spinach if you wish.

For babies, bigger is safer as you can see in the above photo. Regardless of whether or not your baby uses it, always offer a spoon. Early exposure is key. I've included details of this spoon in my BLW essentials post.

Pan Fried Cod

Transfer to an air-tight container and keep in the fridge for 3-4 days. If planning to freeze, skip the cod and freeze just the orzo for up to 3 months.
