Superfood-packed biscuits that taste like gourmet fish cakes while delivering omega-3s and antioxidants—nutritionally complete and absolutely irresistible
Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 25-30 minutes | Total Time: 50 minutes | Makes: 18-20 biscuits
Ingredients
- 8 oz cooked salmon, flaked (wild-caught, plain preparation without seasonings)
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato (roasted until fork-tender, completely cooled)
- 2 cups oat flour (store-bought or homemade from ground oats)
- 1 egg (fresh, room temperature preferred)
- 1 tbsp ground chia seeds (freshly ground for best absorption)
- 1/4 cup water (filtered preferred)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—essential for preventing fish-based dough from sticking.
- Mix flaked salmon, mashed sweet potato, oat flour, egg, and ground chia seeds in a large bowl until you have this gorgeous superfood mixture.
- Gradually add water while stirring until a workable dough forms that holds together when squeezed—your dog will start drooling from the amazing aroma.
- Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into biscuit shapes that are perfect for your dog’s mouth size.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until firm and golden, creating superfood biscuits that smell like a gourmet health food restaurant.
- Let cool completely before serving—this ensures perfect texture and safe serving temperature.
Notes:
- Always let cool completely before serving—hot treats can burn your dog’s mouth
- Amber thinks these are the ultimate superfood indulgence and his coat has never looked better
- Use only plain, unseasoned salmon to ensure safety and maximum omega-3 benefits
Storage Tips:
- Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days
- The salmon content requires refrigeration to prevent spoilage
- Freeze individual biscuits for up to 3 months (perfect for superfood rewards)
- Toss if you see any mold or if they smell fishy rather than fresh
What Makes This Recipe Special:
These biscuits combine omega-3 fatty acids from salmon and chia seeds with antioxidant-rich sweet potato, creating nutritionally comprehensive treats that support coat health, heart function, and cognitive wellness. The ground chia seeds ensure maximum nutrient absorption while oat flour provides heart-healthy fiber for complete superfood nutrition.
Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):
Joint Support Plus: Add a tiny pinch of turmeric for anti-inflammatory benefits that complement the omega-3s—perfect for senior dogs like my 8-year-old Amber.
Double Omega Power: Include a tablespoon of ground flaxseed with the chia seeds for maximum omega-3 variety and heart health support.
Garden Fresh: Mix in finely diced cooked carrots for extra beta-carotene and satisfying crunch that complements the salmon beautifully.
