Ingredients

• 500 grams Salmon fillet
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 thinly sliced Celery stalk
• 1 medium, diced Carrot
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Chicken or fish stock
• 2 medium, peeled and diced Potatoes
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Green peas
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the salmon fillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove from the pot and set aside. Once cool, flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces and discard the skin if present.

Step 2

In the same pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, sliced celery, and diced carrot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the chicken or fish stock, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes to the pot and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 6

Stir in the flaked salmon, green peas, and heavy cream. Let the chowder simmer gently for 5-7 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Season the chowder with salt and black pepper. Add the freshly chopped dill and stir well.

Step 8

Just before serving, squeeze in the lemon juice for a bright, fresh finish. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.

Step 9

Serve the chowder hot, garnished with an extra sprinkle of dill if desired. Enjoy with a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal.
