Toddler Food - Salmon, Sweet Potato Croquettes

Based on her sushi consumption, G. really likes fish. Cereal, raisins, they won't cut it. When's he getting back with more sushi?

She also loved the fish breakfast at Jack's in Aina Haina, the butterfish at Mr. Ojisan in Kapahulu, and the mahi from Fresh Catch in Kaimuki. We eat a lot of fish when we're in Hawaii but I'm picky and don't like a lot of the fish around here. Canned fish is a known quantity, though, and works great in croquettes. Add some sweet potato and they are a toddler favorite in this house.

Salmon Sweet Potato Croquettes
7.5 ounces canned red wild salmon, drained
8 ounces mashed sweet potato
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon minced green onion
pinch black pepper

Flake salmon carefully into small bits, being sure to crush up all the bones. Remove any bones you can't crush. Mix in remaining ingredients. Chill until cold, approximately 30 minutes. Drop in 1-1/2 tablespoon scoops onto a greased or parchment lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly. Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes.
