Make These Mini Fish Tacos for Cats for the Ultimate Fiesta Feast

Ready for a fiesta feast? This mini fish taco cat treat recipe, featuring yummy grilled salmon, will get your feline’s mouth watering.

Fresh salmon is available anytime of the year and in addition to being so good for you, it’s also a scrumptious and healthy treat for your cat. We love carving off a piece of the salmon we’re having for dinner and transforming it into the ultimate kitty fiesta treat. Created by recipe developer, cookbook author and food blogger Alison Lewis, these mini fish tacos for cats are simple to make and only require six ingredients.

But this cat treat recipe can be a fiesta all on its own, too! Learn how to whip it up below.

As with any human food, pet parents looking to incorporate new foods in their pet's diet should consult with their veterinarian beforehand.

Supplies

Frying pan

2 Place the fish in the pan, cooking for 5 to 7 minutes on each side. (It’s cooked through when the fish flakes easily with a fork.)

To ensure proper food safety, refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container within 1 hour of preparation and consume within 2 days. This recipe was designed for cats and reviewed by a veterinarian. It is intended as a treat or snack. Treats should only constitute a small percentage (10%) of your pet’s daily food. Feeding too many treats can lead to nutrient deficiencies. If your pet has health issues (including food allergies or sensitivities to fats) or if you have any concerns, consult your pet’s veterinarian before offering this food item.
