Salmon Chowder

Drain the salmon from the juice. Peel the salmon apart directly in the middle to pull out the bones. Be gentle enough that the bones don’t crumble it’s ok if they do they are soft so you can eat them, i just wanted to take them out. Reserve the juice to add flavor later. Set both the salmon and juice aside.

In your pot chop and add your onion and garlic 1/4 stick butter. Sweat that down. Pour 1 cup of vegetable broth in to deglaze the pot. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir occasionally. Add half your fish juice and potatoes. Cook on medium until half way tender.

Once your potatoes are half done add your Seasoning. I’m a black queen so I sprinkle until ancestors tell me stop. The best thing to do is sprinkle and taste add more if you need it. If i had some old bay i would’ve used that too. Add your salmon and some more of the fish juice leaving a couple ounces to mix your corn starch. Stir and simmer 15 minutes.

Thicken to your liking. I wanted a chowder like texture. So i used about 2 or 3 table spoons of cornstarch mix with remaining fish juice and add to pot. If you don’t have cornstarch use some instant mashed potatoes. Just mix potatoes with water or fish juice microwave then add to pot.
