Fish-story

Salmon, and fish recipes in all forms, have secured their spots as staple meals of British cuisine, capturing both light and fresh Springs, and warm and hearty Winter's nights. If you're a seafood fan, there's no doubt you've enjoyed many different twists and variations on this classic dish involving different seafoods, from haddock, to cod, to perhaps even angler fish. The use of salmon in dishes and bakes can be traced all the way back to Neanderthal history (although they hadn't quite figured out the traybake just yet). Cooked salmon of different varieties were largely enjoyed by French King Charles V in the 14th Century, and became celebrated amongst Medieval cuisine. Being such a versatile fish, there are many ways that both humans and cats can enjoy the delicious treat, so read on for our traybake version, with tasty roasted vegetables. 

For our Tilly & Ted Salmon Traybake recipe, we wanted your special feline to enjoy the best of the best, so chose to combine both fish and seaweed for our recipe. These superfoods are packed with many Amino Acids and Omegas, for easy digestion and that energising zing (psst...check out our recent post on our top 10 kitty superfoods, for more information on the health benefits of our meals).

This (human) recipe below is packed with essential vitamins and a tasty kick - hopefully leaving you with shiny fur and a happy tummy, just like your cat.
