Is it safe to eat salmon chowder every day?
Salmon Chowder – This delicious cheesy potato salmon chowder comes to us courtesy of my sweet friend Diane. She shared her recipe with me so I could in turn, share it with all of you. Diane suggests serving this chowder with a side of crusty buttered rolls or crackers. I think it’s a delicious twist on fish soup as well as chowder, and makes for a meal that’s both filling and satisfying!
If you want to add seafood to your dinner rotation but you’re looking for a unique way to do so, Diane’s salmon chowder just might do the trick. Serve with a salad and crusty bread and it becomes a seaside feast.
Ingredients
4 medium Red potatoes peeled and cubed
6 oz bacon fried crisp & diced
1 cup fresh/frozen sweet corn
1 large bunch green onions thinly sliced
1/2 medium red bell pepper diced
1 celery stalk sliced
2 cloves garlic minced
1/4-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1-2 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 tsp dried thyme
3 cups milk [2% or whole milk]
2/3 cup heavy cream
salt & black pepper to taste
1 1/2 lb fresh or canned Salmon skin & bones removed
Instructions
Place potatoes in an appropriate size heavy saucepan, cover with water. Add a little salt; bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender (about 7 minutes).
Remove from heat and drain; set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, fry the bacon in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat until crisp. [NOTE: You can dice the bacon before frying or you can crumble once fried.]
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried bacon from the drippings to paper towels to drain.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the corn, onions, bell pepper, celery, garlic, red pepper flakes, Cajun seasoning, and thyme to the bacon drippings left in the pot. Saute until onions, peppers and celery are tender.
Increase the heat to medium; add milk and cream; bring just to a boiling point.
Add cooked potatoes, diced bacon, salt, black pepper and salmon.
For fresh Salmon: Add to the chowder and cook until the Salmon begins to break up (around 6-8 minutes).
For canned Salmon: Add to the chowder and heat through, cooking for around 5 minutes.
Serve with buttered crusty rolls or crackers on the side.
Sturgeon female fish must be at least 10 years old before they’re ready to migrate upstream
to lay their eggs. Most of them have been fished out by that age, which is exactly why the
mature sturgeon are rare and their roe is extremely expensive
How much Salmon Caviar comes from 1 lb of Salmon Roe?
From every pound of salmon roe, you will get about 1/2 pound of salted or cured caviar
Is Salmon Caviar or Roe good for you?
Salmon roe is amongst one of the richest foods in the omega-3 fatty acids, which are
essential to the early brain and eye development, as well as the support of heart, eye,
immune and mental health throughout the later years
Which is why, eating caviar is good for your health overall, but especially so if you’re
pregnant, or a child
