Salmon & Sweet Potato Bites

Small soft-baked bites built around plain cooked salmon and mashed sweet potato. Use fully cooked, boneless salmon only — never smoked or salted fish — and keep these as an occasional treat rather than part of a meal.

Salmon & Sweet Potato Bites

Makes About 20 small bites · 40 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 150 g plain cooked salmon, skin and all bones removed, flaked
  • 1 cup (about 200 g) plain cooked sweet potato, mashed and cooled
  • 1 cup (about 100 g) rolled oats, half of them blitzed into a coarse flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1-2 tablespoons water, only if the mixture is too dry

Instructions

  1. 1Heat the oven to 180°C / 350°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. 2Check the cooked salmon carefully with your fingers and remove every bone and any skin. Flake the flesh into small pieces.
  3. 3Mash the cooled sweet potato in a bowl until smooth, then stir in the flaked salmon and the egg.
  4. 4Add the oats and oat flour and mix to a thick, scoopable mixture. Add water a spoonful at a time only if it will not hold together.
  5. 5Spoon small teaspoon-sized mounds onto the tray and flatten each one slightly with the back of the spoon.
  6. 6Bake for 22-25 minutes until set and lightly golden at the edges.
  7. 7Cool completely on a wire rack before serving — baked treats hold heat in the middle.

Storage

  • Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Fish-based treats spoil faster than plain baked biscuits.
  • Freeze in a sealed bag for up to 2 months and defrost only what you need.
  • Discard any bites that smell strongly or look slimy — these contain no preservatives.

Serving considerations

  • These are occasional treats, not a meal or a complete and balanced diet.
  • How many is appropriate depends on your dog's size, health and normal diet — treats should stay a small part of overall daily intake.
  • Use plain cooked salmon only: no smoked salmon, no salt, no oil-heavy marinades, no garlic, no onion and no spice blends.
  • Introduce a new treat slowly, especially with dogs that have a sensitive stomach, and ask your vet if your dog has any health condition.
