Salmon, Spinach and Quinoa Fritters
Another easy freezer stash recipe for you...these savoury fritters are a wonderful breakfast or snack option!
We LOVE salmon for the taste, but also the incredible nutrition boost it gives these fritters. Adding in salmon offers protein and energy alongside omega 3, vitamin A, D, B6 and B12. Salmon is also a fish that is low in mercury- you can learn more about the best fish to pick for bub here.
