Why This Recipe Stands Out

This chowder is a great way to transform leftover salmon into a comforting and flavorful meal. It’s creamy, hearty, and packed with nutrients. Plus, it’s quick to make, perfect for busy weeknights or when you want something warm and satisfying.

Helpful Kitchen Tips

- Use low heat when adding cream to avoid curdling.
- Don’t overcook the salmon; add it at the end to keep it tender.
- Chop vegetables evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.

Step 1

Put the potatoes in a large pot and covering them with salted water. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and let them simmer gently until they're tender, which usually takes about 20 minutes. Once done, drain the potatoes and set them aside.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooking, heat some olive oil in a big saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and cook them until they soften, about 5 to 7 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour, along with a pinch of salt and pepper, and stir everything together so it forms a smooth mixture.

Step 3

Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer until it thickens up nicely, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Now, add the cooked potatoes, flaked grilled salmon, peas, corn, and some fresh dill to the pot. Give it a good stir and let everything heat through for another 10 minutes.

Step 5

Finally, stir in the Swiss and Cheddar cheeses until they melt and blend into the chowder. Once it’s all creamy and hot, ladle the chowder into bowls and sprinkle some chopped green onions on top for a fresh finish. Enjoy!

Serving Ideas For Family Meals

Serve this chowder with a slice of crusty bread or a light green salad for a balanced meal. A sprinkle of fresh herbs like dill or parsley on top adds a bright, fresh flavor. It also pairs well with a crisp white wine.

Storing Food Safely

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to keep the cream from separating. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change.
