Categories     fish

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2-3 tablespoons olive oil (or butter)
1 onion, diced (or sub 2 leeks, sliced or 2 fat shallots)
1 small fennel bulb, 1 1/2 cups diced
1 cup celery, sliced
2-4 garlic cloves, rough chopped
1 teaspoon fennel seeds (optional)
1/2 teaspoon thyme (dry, or 2 teaspoons fresh)
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/3 cup vermouth, cooking sherry or white wine (or leave it out, see notes)
3 cups fish or chicken stock- if using chicken broth see notes, on how to enhance
3/4 lb baby potatoes, thinly sliced (1/4 inch thick)
1 teaspoon salt
1 bay leaf
1 lb salmon, skinless. (or ok to sub other fish like cod or shrimp), cut into 1 -2 inch pieces ( the more uniform, the better)
2 cups whole milk (or half & half or a combo, or dairy-free milk like coconut milk, or 1/2- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Garnish: fennel fronds, lemon wedges, fresh dill or tarragon.

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium heat, and saute onion, fennel and celery until fragrant, 5-6 minutes. Add garlic, fennel seeds, thyme and saute two more minutes, stirring. Add the smoked paprika.
  • Add vermouth, and cook it off, about 1-2 minutes. Add stock, salt, thyme and bay, and bring to a simmer over high heat. Add potatoes and stir. Bring to a simmer, cover and simmer over med-low heat until tender, about 8-10 minutes (check at 7 mins, be careful to not overcook). While this is cooking prep the salmon.
  • Cut salmon into 2-inch pieces, removing any of the brown fat ( see notes) and bones. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
  • Once the potatoes are just fork-tender, add the milk and bring to a low simmer (do not boil) and add the salmon, gently poaching it in the soup for just about 2 minutes. Turn heat off. Fish will continue to cook. If you continue to simmer the soup any longer it may cause a slight curdling. ( Don't worry, it's still edible, but not as pretty.) Flake the fish apart, into bite-sized pieces, with a fork.
  • Taste, adjust seasonings to your liking and serve immediately.
  • Garnish with fennel fronds, lemon wedges, fresh dill or tarragon.
  • Soup will keep 3 days in the fridge.

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.

A comforting stew to extend or use up leftover salmon. Very flexible to what you have on hand.

Provided by The Angerers

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Chowders     Fish Chowder Recipes

Time 54m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 large potatoes, or more to taste, diced
3 carrots, or more to taste, diced
2 tablespoons butter
1 small red onion, diced
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
6 cups milk
2 cups frozen corn
1 cup skinned and boned cooked salmon, or more to taste
1 cup frozen green beans
½ cup frozen peas
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1 ½ teaspoons dill
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add carrots, cover, and steam until softened, 4 to 6 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh and high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your chowder. Choose fresh, wild-caught salmon, and use vegetables that are in season for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Be careful not to cook it for too long, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality stock: The stock you use will also contribute to the flavor of your chowder. Use a homemade stock if you can, or choose a store-bought stock that is low in sodium and has a good flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When you're cooking the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make the chowder watery.
  • Season to taste: Once the chowder is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until it reaches the desired flavor.

Conclusion:

Linda's Salmon Chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The creamy broth, tender salmon, and flavorful vegetables make this chowder a surefire hit with the whole family. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your salmon chowder turns out perfectly every time.
