Make this cheesy fresh salmon chowder for a delicious lunch or dinner. Dill is a fabulous addition, but parsley will work as well.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 ribs celery (chopped)
  • 3/4 cup diced carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped shallots
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 to 3 medium red-skinned potatoes (diced)
  • 1 pound fresh salmon, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup frozen peas (thawed)
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups mild cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (or parsley, plus more for garnish)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped celery, diced carrot, and shallots and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are just tender.
  2. Add the flour to the vegetables and stir to blend thoroughly; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Gradually stir the chicken stock into the vegetables and then add the diced potatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 12 to 16 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Add the salmon and peas to the saucepan and continue to cook for about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the milk and cheese; cook, stirring, until the chowder is hot and the cheese is melted.
  5. Stir in the dill or parsley and pepper, and add salt, to taste.
  6. Cook for 1 minute longer.
  7. Serve the chowder with crusty bread or rolls or crackers.
