Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked salmon, deboned and flaked
- 1 cup cooked sweet potatoes, mashed
- 1/2 cup peas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon dill
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm the dish after assembling it.
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into chunks. Boil or steam until they are soft and tender, about 15-20 minutes. Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and set aside.
- Cook the Salmon: Season the salmon lightly with a pinch of dill (optional). Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Let it cool slightly before flaking it into small pieces, making sure to remove any bones.
- Cook the Peas: If using fresh peas, blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender, then drain. If using frozen peas, simply thaw them by running under warm water.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, mashed sweet potatoes, and peas. Drizzle with olive oil and gently mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Optional Baking Step: For a more cohesive dish, transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish. Place it in the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Cool the Dish: Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Ensure it is not too hot before serving it to your dog.
- Portion and Serve: Serve the desired portion to your dog in their bowl. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- Optional Garnish: For an extra touch, sprinkle a small pinch of fresh dill or parsley on top before serving, if your dog enjoys the flavor.
