Kids Meals: Smoked Salmon Croquette Sliders

smokedsalmonpattysliders1

Kids meals. What comes to mind when you hear that phrase? For me; chicken nuggets, and an assortment of other finger foods. I have adventurous taste buds and I would like the boys to follow suit. Jayden is my picky eater. He approaches new foods with curiosity and apprehension, but the Juicy one? He’ll eat anything… except cheese crackers. Strange huh?

I’m trying to incorporate more fish into our diets (omega-3’s – hello!) and one of our favorite quick and inexpensive seafood dishes is salmon croquettes. When Alaska seafood asked me to share a kid-friendly seafood meal, I couldn’t wait to share my croquette recipe and how you can spruce them up for the littles. In this Smoked Salmon Croquette Slider recipe, I share how to add a kick to salmon with smoked sea salt (so good!) and top with a sweet combo of veggies kids’ll enjoy. Add some tater tots and mandarin oranges on the side and dinner is served!
