Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Salmon fillet
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 thinly sliced Celery stalk
- 1 medium, diced Carrot
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 4 cups Chicken or fish stock
- 2 medium, peeled and diced Potatoes
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Green peas
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the salmon fillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove from the pot and set aside. Once cool, flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces and discard the skin if present.
In the same pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, sliced celery, and diced carrot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken or fish stock, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Stir in the flaked salmon, green peas, and heavy cream. Let the chowder simmer gently for 5-7 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.
Season the chowder with salt and black pepper. Add the freshly chopped dill and stir well.
Just before serving, squeeze in the lemon juice for a bright, fresh finish. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Serve the chowder hot, garnished with an extra sprinkle of dill if desired. Enjoy with a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal.
