Name: Salmon And Pea Chowder
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces; 1 medium onion, diced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 2 tbsp butter; 2 tbsp all-purpose flour; 4 cups chicken broth; 1 cup heavy cream; 1 cup frozen peas; 1 cup diced potatoes; 1/2 tsp dried thyme; Salt and pepper to taste; Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic, stirring constantly to create a smooth paste. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the diced potatoes, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Let the chowder simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Gently stir in the heavy cream and frozen peas. Allow the chowder to return to a simmer.
Carefully add the bite-sized salmon pieces to the chowder. Let it cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Taste the chowder and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove the pot from heat. Allow the chowder to sit for a few minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve the Salmon and Pea Chowder hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
