I love using the whatever-is-in-the-pantry method and creating something that is actually edible. These are very moreish and freeze well. Be sure to make some for yourself too – i’ll admit, I ate some of Harry’s off the floor. Don’t pretend you haven’t done it.

Tip: Adult version, add parmesan and chives to the breadcrumbs and serve with lemon wedges.

Nutrition Note:  These tasty bites are a great way to serve up fish and vegetables to fussy eaters.

    My daughter is pretty pleased with these. Does all tinned salmon have skin and bones in it? I’m not a fish person and hadn’t had it before and it was pretty gross to sift through to get meat suitable for her to eat. Also, can these be frozen?
    Thanks,
    Bethany

      Hi Bethany, thanks for your message. Yes you can freeze these, I often have a batch in my freezer. You can buy tinned salmon which is skinless and boneless. I am not sure where you are from or what you have access to so if you can’t find it you could always poach a small piece of salmon. When I lived in Singapore I found it hard to find too, but here in Sydney it fills a whole shelf in the supermarket. Great to hear your daughter liked the bites, she may like these too: https://ohcooks.wpengine.com/recipe/crumbed-tuna-and-vegetable-patties/ All the best, Allie x

    These were a hit! So easy and incredibly tasty! My little one doesn’t like potatoes so substituted with mashed sweet potatoes and turned out great. Thanks Allie!

    Just wondering how you defrost these? Working full-time I am always looking for things that I can make a big batch of and freeze for the weeknights!

      Hi Alexandra, good on you for making such an effort to prepare and freeze healthy food for your kids. These can be placed in the fridge in the morning and then pan fried for a few minutes either side (until cooked through) or baked to your liking. That will keep them nice and crispy 🙂 Ax

      P.S. Here is our freeze and defrost guide if you are interested. https://ohcooks.wpengine.com/freezing-and-defrosting-guide/

    These look delicious! Look forward to trying them 🙂 so should they be frozen at the point before they are ready to fry? Thanks! 🙂

    Just made these, substituting mashed sweet potato for the peas. Also used steamed spangled emporer instead of the salmon (same weight). They’re delicious fresh
