Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cooked salmon
- 1 large egg
- 8 blueberries
- 1/2 cup oat flour
Steps
- Poach or bake the fresh salmon, with the skins removed.
- Place the cooked salmon, egg and blueberries in a food processor or blender. Blend until combined.
- Spoon the mixture into a medium mixing bowl and stir in the oat flour gradually until the mixture forms a dough.
- Roll or press the dough out on a lightly floured surface and cut into shapes, or simply scoop small spoonfuls onto the tray.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or silicone mat.
- Place the tray in the oven bake for 15-20 minutes, or until firm and lightly golden. Flip over half way through cooking.
- Cool completely before serving to your dog.
- Preheat your air fryer to 330°F (165°C).
- Place the treats in a single layer in the air fryer basket, don’t overcrowd them.
- Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the treats are firm and lightly golden.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
- _Tip:_ For a crunchier texture, air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes and let the treats cool in the basket with the heat off.
- Preheat your dehydrator to 135°F (57°C).
- Mix and shape the dough as above, small discs or bite-sized pieces work best.
- Arrange the treats evenly on the dehydrator trays, leaving space for air circulation.
- Dehydrate for 6-8 hours, or until the treats are dry and slightly crisp.
- Cool completely before transferring to an airtight container.
- _Tip:_ Dehydrated treats will last longer, up to 2 weeks in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer, making them perfect for bulk prepping healthy dog snacks!
Substitutions
