We always have leftover boiled rice in our household and I usually make fried rice the next day but this time I wanted to try something new. I have a pack of salmon fillet that needed to be used up, so I put these two together and turn them into little croquettes. 🙂
Gosh, they tasted soooo good and packed with veggies and Omega-3 too! Definitely a win win meals for my kids! My two toddler sons ate 3 croquettes each! Yeah!:)💪.
These delicious little babes would make a great blw baby food as the texture is firm and not crumbly, and also ideal for fussy eaters with hidden veggies 😄. Hiding veggies in meals is the only way to get my kids to eat them!🙈
It took me max 40 minutes from prep to finish. Perfect dinner plan for working mom and busy mom like me! 👍 They’ll be yummy for lunchbox too!
Served 2 toddlers and 1 adult.
