Northwest Salmon Chowder image

I've lived on a farm in the Yakima Valley all my life. I have a big garden, and by the end of fall, my cellar shelves are full of canned fruits and vegetables. This recipe uses some of the root vegetables I grow...along with the delicious salmon that is so plentiful here. -Josephine Parton, Granger, Washington

EASY, CREAMY ONE-POT SALMON CHOWDER RECIPE



Easy, Creamy One-Pot Salmon Chowder Recipe image

As a born-and-bred Boston kid, chowder holds a special place in my heart, and fish-based chowders doubly so, as a fish chowder was the very first dish I ever got to stick on a real restaurant menu. It was creamy, rich, and satisfying, and totally impractical for any kind of home cooking. At home, I take a much more traditional one-pot approach to chowder-making. While the resulting dish it may not quite reach the lofty heights of fine dining, the results are still creamy, satisfying, delicious, a great use of leftovers or inexpensive fish, and-most important-really, really easy.

  • Use a good quality clam chowder base: A good quality clam chowder base will make all the difference in the flavor of your chowder. Look for a base that is made with fresh clams and/or clam juice.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the chowder. Feel free to add other vegetables that you like, such as corn, peas, or bell peppers.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a bit of lemon juice or vinegar for a brighter flavor.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or dill add a nice finishing touch to the chowder. They also add a bit of extra flavor.
