Tips for Making the Best Salmon and Vegetable Chowder:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the chowder will taste. If possible, use fresh salmon, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Choose the Right Salmon: You can use any type of salmon for this chowder, but some types are better than others. Wild-caught salmon is typically more flavorful than farmed salmon. If you are using farmed salmon, make sure it is sustainably farmed.
  • Cook the Salmon Properly: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it carefully. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through, which will take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: This recipe calls for a variety of vegetables, including potatoes, carrots, celery, and corn. You can also add other vegetables that you like, such as broccoli, zucchini, or peas.
  • Season the Chowder Well: Chowder is a flavorful dish, so it is important to season it well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Let the Chowder Simmer: Simmering the chowder for a while will help the flavors to develop. Simmer the chowder for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour.
  • Serve the Chowder Hot: Chowder is best served hot. Serve it with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
