If you're looking for a budget-friendly way to serve your baby fish, consider salmon cakes. You can find a good price on canned wild salmon at your local grocery store. It's cheaper and easier than buying fresh salmon or frozen. You can also freeze leftover cooked salmon and make salmon cakes anytime you want. And because the cakes are baked, there's no messy cleanup. A healthy option for your baby is salmon cakes.
In a large bowl, mix together the salmon, breadcrumbs, parsley, egg, onion, black pepper, garlic powder, cheese, mustard, and lemon juice.
Divide and shape the mixture into approximately 10 patties.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and swirl to cover the pan. In batches, fry the salmon patties until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Add more olive oil as needed. Let cool slightly before serving.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for best quality.

Notes
TIP: Look for salmon without bones, or carefully remove the bones before serving. For older toddlers (about 18 months and up), the bones are actually safely edible and a great source of calcium.
