Ingredients

• 1 pound Salmon fillet (skinless, boneless, cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion (diced)
• 2 Celery stalks (diced)
• 2 Carrots (diced)
• 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 3 medium Gold potatoes (peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes)
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Fresh or dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 4 Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once melted, add the diced onion, celery, and carrots.

Step 2

Cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they are softened (about 5-7 minutes). Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir well for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the diced potatoes, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot partially, and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and milk, then add the cubes of salmon. Simmer gently for another 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily.

Step 7

Taste the chowder and adjust the seasoning with more salt or black pepper if needed. Remove and discard the bay leaf.

Step 8

Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side if desired.
