Salmon Meatballs for Your Toddler Recipe

Finger foods with packed veggies are always a good addition to your toddler’s diet. It is a great practice to keep exposing them to different textures and flavors while ensuring they are getting the nutrition they need. Salmon is a great source of protein and healthy fats that includes all of the necessary building blocks for brain development.
