A rich and comforting chowder featuring blackened salmon, tender potatoes, and a creamy, flavorful broth that makes for a perfect hearty meal.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Salmon

  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 1 tbsp blackened seasoning

Base

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Soup

  • 2 cups diced potatoes
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup corn (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Season the salmon: Generously coat the salmon fillets with the blackened seasoning, ensuring an even layer of spices for maximum flavor.
  2. Cook the salmon: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and cook the seasoned salmon fillets until browned on the outside and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Once done, set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Sauté aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Simmer potatoes: Add the diced potatoes and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, roughly 12-15 minutes.
  5. Add cream and corn: Stir in the heavy cream and optional corn. Let the chowder gently simmer, allowing flavors to combine for 3-5 minutes.
  6. Incorporate salmon: Flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces and fold them into the chowder. Stir gently to combine without breaking the fish too much.
  7. Season and finish: Taste the chowder and season with salt and pepper as needed. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld flavors.
  8. Garnish and serve: Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm for a cozy meal.

Notes

  • Adjust the spice level by increasing or decreasing the amount of blackened seasoning.
  • For deeper smoky flavor, substitute smoked paprika in the blackened seasoning mix.
  • Use vegetable broth for a pescatarian version.
  • Adding corn is optional but adds a nice sweetness and texture contrast.
