– 1 cup canned salmon (or fresh, cooked salmon)
– 2 cups whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flour if needed)
– 1 egg
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
– 1 tablespoon water (if your dough is too dry)
Creating these salmon dog treats is a simple process. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Salmon: If using fresh salmon, ensure it’s cooked and flaked. If using canned, drain it and mash it in a bowl.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the salmon, flour, egg, and olive oil. Add chopped parsley for an extra nutrient boost if desired.
4. Form the Dough: Mix until a dough forms. If it’s too dry, add a tablespoon of water to help it come together.
5. Roll Out the Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
6. Cut Shapes: Use cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes of treats.
7. Place on Baking Sheet: Transfer the shapes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the treats to cool completely on a wire rack.
10. Store: Once cooled, store treats in an airtight container. They typically last for up to a week at room temperature.
