Ingredients
- 7 oz cod, skinless and boneless
- 1 large egg
Steps
- Cook the cod by steaming or baking it until fully cooked and flaky. Allow it to cool slightly.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or use a silicone treat mold.
- Add the cod with an egg into a container or bowl. Using a hand held blender, blend until the mixture is smooth. You could use a food processor or blender for this too.
- Spread the mixture into the silicone mold evenly OR scoop small portions onto the prepared baking tray, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the treats are set and lightly golden.
Substitutions
- Use haddock or pollock instead of cod.
- Substitute the egg with two tablespoons of plain unsweetened yogurt.
- Mix in a small amount of salmon for varied flavor.
