- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.

Gently stir in the salmon pieces and let them cook in the chowder for 5-7 minutes or until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
