Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1/2 pound red potatoes
1/2 pound sliced bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips
2 cups chopped green onions (from 2 bunches)
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic (3 cloves)
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
1/8 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
3 cups whole milk
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 (1 1/2-pound) piece salmon fillet (preferably wild), skin discarded and fish cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Steps:

Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes, then cook in a 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and set aside.
Cook the bacon in a 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the pot, then cook the onions, corn, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, and red pepper flakes over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the milk and cream and bring just to a boil. Reduce the heat to moderately low, then add the potatoes, the salmon, bacon, salt, and pepper and cook, gently stirring occasionally, until salmon is just cooked through and begins to break up as you stir, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Discard the bay leaf and sprinkle with chives before serving.

NORTHWEST SALMON CHOWDER

Northwest Salmon Chowder image

I've lived on a farm in the Yakima Valley all my life. I have a big garden, and by the end of fall, my cellar shelves are full of canned fruits and vegetables. This recipe uses some of the root vegetables I grow...along with the delicious salmon that is so plentiful here. -Josephine Parton, Granger, Washington
