Ideas for fish
About fish
Fish is easy to cook. You can boil it or steam it in the oven or microwave.
Prepared fish may be mashed lightly with a fork. It is good to alternate
between oily fish, such as salmon, herring and mackerel, and lean fish such as
codfish, pollack, plaice and cod roe. When the child is well able to chew, cut the
fish meat into suitable small pieces.
Cooking
All kinds of fish, fresh and frozen, are good for a child. The fish can be cooked
in a saucepan, oven or microwave. Be sure always to remove all fish bones.
Boiled fish
A tablespoon-sized piece of fish fillet, e.g. salmon, cod, pollack, flounder, trout
or plaice, is placed in a saucepan on a bed of potatoes and vegetables and is
boiled/steamed for the last few minutes, with the lid on the saucepan. Pour off
the boiling water. You can keep it to make the sauce. Mash the fish, potatoes
and vegetables, individually or mixed together, and add the fat and milk.
Oven baked fish
Place a filet of salmon, cod, pollack, flounder, trout or plaice in a greased dish,
encircled by a ring of tomato wedges if you like. Place the dish in a pre-heated
200O C oven for about 10-20 minutes (depending on fillet thickness), until the
fish meat has become solid and has changed color. Mash the fish with a fork.
Sauce to go with fish
Blend the tomatoes from the oven steaming with a hand blender and serve
them with the fish meat and vegetables. The water used to cook the fish and
vegetables can be thickened in the same way as the sauce to go with the meat.
You can add a little fat or a few drops of lemon juice to the thickened fish sauce,
and/or add a little sugar, so that the sauce does not taste too acidic. Chopped
garnish such as parsley should not be added, unless it is cooked for a few
minutes, while the rest is being stirred.
Tip: Fish, both raw (fresh) and cooked, is suitable for freezing. It can be of help
to have small portions in the freezer, ready for use.
