Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 medium russet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 14 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 loaf crusty bread, for serving (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, garlic, celery, and carrots, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the diced potatoes and smoked paprika, cooking for another 2 minutes to release the paprika's smoky flavor.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cover the pot and let the chowder simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the half-and-half, then gently add the salmon pieces. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flaky.
Season the chowder with salt and black pepper to taste.
Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve hot with crusty bread on the side, if desired.
