Ingredients:
1 lb salmon, skin removed and cut into bite-size pieces (I used a leftover baked fillet)
5 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, diced
4 celery stalks, diced (I had no celery this time)
3 carrots, diced
3 tbsp butter
4 tbsp flour
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth (or use four cups water with four tablespoons soy sauce)
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 can corn, drained
1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp dried dill
1 tbsp garlic powder
(I use a lot of seasonings because my boys like it that way)
1 bay leaf
1–2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Directions:
Sauté the vegetables:
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrots. Cook for about 5–7 minutes, until softened.
Make the base:
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for about 1 minute.
Add broth and potatoes:
Slowly pour in the broth while stirring. Add the potatoes, bay leaf, salt, pepper, dill, and garlic powder.
Simmer:
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 12–15 minutes, until the potatoes are almost tender.
Add dairy:
Stir in the milk and heavy cream. Keep the heat low—don't let it boil hard, or the dairy can separate.
Add the salmon:
Gently stir in the salmon and corn. Simmer for about 5–8 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
Finish:
Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the lemon juice and taste for salt and pepper.
It makes a big spaghetti pot full. My boys devour it in a day :)
ENJOY

Is bay leaf one of those genetic things like cilantro that some people like and others don't? I have never been able to tell if a dish has bay leaf or not, but some people insist that you have to have it. I don't think I've got an unrefined palette, but I literally can't tell the difference and it makes those spice jars in the grocery a joke because it literally has the texture of a fallen leaf and zero contribution to flavor.

It looks very good, but I wonder about leftover salmon, what is that?

Favorited.
Honestly not a fan of salmon, but this seems like a fun recipe to try.

I had something like this in Kyiv years back when I was sick (a cold I think from traveling). Coworkers that I was visiting told me to get it to feel better. It was the best thing ever but I never got the name/recipe of the dish, I’ll have to try this recipe!

If you like that, you should try fisherman’s pie! It’s like that chowder topped with mashed potatoes

Discovered clam chowder 20+ years ago when traveling to the States. Still remember how good it was. Gonna try this recipe and see if this is equally good. Thanks!

I have also made this several times. My recipe is almost identical, except that I cook the veggies in olive oil instead of butter, and I use butter and flour to make a Roux, rather than putting the flour straight in.
I've also made it with Arctic Char, which is part of the Salmon family.

I make a similar one too, except I start with cooking small cubes of bacon in the pot, then removing the bacon and using its fat instead of butter. Then I add the bacon back in at the end.

You're making me hungry

I made this with cod, and subbed corn starch for flour to keep it gluten free. I wanted to eat the whole pot. I think mine also has a jar of clam juice.
