Homemade Salmon Recipe Needed for Cat Allergic to Chicken

[OER]

I need a salmon recipe for a cat with SEVERE chicken allergy. I’m experienced making homemade food using Dr Lisa Pierson’s recipe on catinfo.org. Since 2017 I make 300 pounds every 5 week. Turkey is out, risk is too great. I’ve consulted vet allergy specialist re possibility of being allergic to turkey & other poultry. She doesn’t like rabbit foods.
Nutrition Info shows Vitamin A higher than chicken, protein higher. I have access to salmon. What ingredients do I need other than salmon, taurine? Vitamin B?

you're right that it is expensive to find canned food without chicken, I checked on Hound & Gatos, super pricey.

The fish used in pet food may contain all kinds of toxins and drug residues, including persistent organic pollutants that actually stop the body from eliminating it and other toxins. Another common toxin, domoic acid, may be an unrecognized factor in chronic kidney disease.
