Ingredient Notes and Substitutes

Salmon fillet: This recipe will work with skinless boneless chicken fillets, or firm white fish.
Edamame: I use edamame beans in their shell, these are soy-beans and can be found in the frozen section in supermarkets. I cook them from frozen, i.e. there is no need to defrost them. You don't eat the shells, but pop the beans into your mouth using your teeth.
Broccolini: This can be substituted for broccoli florets or thickly sliced zucchini. you can also use pak choy or bok choy.
Rice bran oil: Any mild flavoured oil.
Corn flour: This is also known as cornstarch. Arrowroot powder can be used as an alternative
Soy sauce: Gluten-free soy sauce or tamari works just fine.
Brown sugar: This can be substituted for white granulated sugar or coconut sugar if you prefer.
Rice vinegar: This can be substituted for white vinegar or lemon juice.
Spring onion: In some parts of the world these are known as green onions, scallions or even shallots, they are just used for garnish in this recipe alhtough they do add freshness to the final dish. .
Sesame seeds: I use a combination of black and white sesame seeds just because they look nice as a garnish.

How to make this recipe suitable for Baby Led Weaning

Because of the homemade teriyaki sauce used in this recipe it can be high in salt and sugar which could be unsuitable for baby starting solids or young toddler. Here are some things I would do to make this recipe more suitable for BLW.

Choose a low salt soy sauce.
Don't pour the teriyaki sauce directly over the piece of salmon you plan to serve to your baby.
Ensure the vegetables are tender and are able to be squashed between your fingers before serving them. This includes removing the edamame from their shells and squashing them before serving.
