1. Prep that salmon: Flake cooked salmon carefully with a fork, checking thoroughly for any bones. Room temperature fish blends better than cold.
2. Temperature check: Make sure chicken broth is room temperature to prevent lumpy blending with other ingredients.
3. Blend the magic: Combine flaked salmon, chicken broth, yogurt, grated carrot, and honey in blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping sides as needed.
4. Taste test: Sample the mixture (it’s human-safe and tasty!) to ensure it’s mildly sweet with rich salmon flavor—adjust honey if needed.
5. Fill those molds: Pour into ice cube trays or silicone molds, filling completely since this mixture doesn’t expand when frozen.
6. Freeze solid: Freeze for 2-3 hours until completely solid. Fish treats freeze faster than dairy-heavy ones.
7. Serve frozen: These are perfect straight from the freezer—the frozen texture provides satisfying crunch while staying creamy inside.

Notes:

• Always check for bones even in “boneless” salmon—safety first
• Use room temperature ingredients for smooth blending and best texture
• These freeze faster than other treats due to high protein content

Storage Tips:

• Store in freezer for up to 2 months in airtight containers
• Make smaller batches for maximum omega-3 potency
• Label with date fish treats don’t keep as long as meat-based ones
• Perfect for bi-weekly prep fresh batches maintain best nutrition
