MOM'S NOVA SCOTIA SEAFOOD CHOWDER
Being from the Easy Coast, I've tried a lot of different chowders; however, my Mom's takes the cake. She makes a huge pot of this chowder every Christmas Eve and all of it is gone by Christmas night. Although it is not very healthy, it is an awesome treat once in awhile for any of us that love seafood! I normally throw in a dash of garlic and onion powder. Enjoy!

BUTTERMILK SALMON CHOWDER
This is based on a South Beach Diet cookbook recipe. The introduction states, "Yogurt and buttermilk add creaminess to this chunky chowder. Dill, bay leaf, and tarragon lend the perfect flavor accents." Additionally, Dr. Oz, in his You, the Owner's Manual book, states that "The best fish (those with the least mercury and PCBs [polychlorinated biphenl]) are wild, line-caught salmon (almost all canned salmon is wild, healthful salmon), mahi mahi, catfish, flounder (sole), tilapia, and whitefish."

Tips:
- Choose the right type of salmon: Opt for wild-caught salmon or sustainably farmed salmon for the best flavor and texture.
- Use fresh, high-quality seafood: In addition to salmon, you can add other seafood like shrimp, clams, or mussels to your chowder.
- Don't overcook the seafood: Overcooked seafood will become tough and rubbery. Cook it just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Use a good quality broth: A flavorful broth is the foundation of a great chowder. Use a homemade broth or a high-quality store-bought broth.
- Add vegetables: Vegetables like potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions add flavor and texture to the chowder. You can also add other vegetables like corn, peas, or zucchini.
- Season the chowder well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a touch of acidity with lemon juice or vinegar.
- Serve the chowder hot: Chowder is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
Conclusion:
Salmon seafood chowder is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious chowder that your family and friends will love.
