How to Make Salmon Chowder

Looking to impress your dinner guests with a delicious and effortless seafood chowder? Get ready to warm your soul with this delicious One-Pot Salmon Chowder with Corn recipe.

Get started by sautéing chopped onions, carrots and minced garlic in olive oil. Let it cook for about five minutes before adding in a little whole wheat flour and low sodium vegetable broth to the pot. Next, toss in cubed gold potatoes, cauliflower florets, thyme, bay leaf and black pepper for a serious punch of flavor.

After letting the veggies and spices cook for about 20 minutes, pour in some juicy corn and continue cooking for another 10 minutes. When the chowder is good and simmered, transfer the cauliflower and some of the broth into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Return the mixture to the pot for an extra creamy texture.

Finally, add in some fresh, flaky salmon and a splash of half-and-half for a satisfying and comforting meal. Simmer until the salmon is cooked to perfection and garnish with fresh parsley before serving up this divine dish!
