Mini Fish Pies

This fish pie is so tasty and satisfying. Suitable as a baby food recipe for your weaning tot, it's perfect for a mid-week family meal and is a great way to get your kids to eat more fish.
Try to include 2 portions of oily fish a week such as salmon into your child's diet - they are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which is vital for brain health.
In our house we love serving this up in mini ramekins dishes so the kids can have their own portions. Make this fish pie recipe and I guarantee your little ones will enjoy them!
