Salmon Chowder

Salmon Chowder

This is cold-weather dining at its best. Generous pieces of fresh fish floating in a creamy broth with root vegetables are hearty and satisfying. This recipe is from Lucinda Scala Quinn, and it appears on the Martha Stewart Living digital magazine for iPad.

  • Yield Serves 6

Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 1 leek, white and pale-green parts only, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced, and rinsed well
    • 1 red onion, quartered and thinly sliced
    • Coarse salt and freshly ground white pepper
    • 3 small Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
    • 2 carrots, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
    • 6 cups store-bought low-sodium fish stock or Homemade Fish Stock (http://www.marthastewart.com/286425/homemade-fish-stock)
    • 12 ounces skinless salmon, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
    • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Directions

  1. Heat butter in a medium stockpot over medium-low heat. Cook leek and red onion until soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt. Stir in potatoes and carrots. Add stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until potatoes are almost tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
