Northwest Smoked Salmon and Clam Chowder image

This wild smoked salmon and clam chowder combo is a real winner. Get ready for some rave reviews from your family and friends. You can use fresh clams too--just add more clam juice. I used canned because it was easier. Enjoy!!

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

3/4 c flour
1 c butter
1/2 c chopped celery
1/4 c chopped onion
1 1/4 c clam juice
1 Tbsp fresh dill
1 Tbsp fresh basil
1 Tbsp fresh thyme (minced)
dash(es) garlic power
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
25 oz chopped clams with juice
7 oz wild smoked salmon
5 c water
3/4 c hot half and half
1/4 c hot heavy cream
2 1/4 Tbsp fresh parsley
2 c yukon potatoes (peeled and cut into ΒΌ-inch cubes)

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and then cook 2 cups of cubed Yukon potatoes in a pan, covered with lightly salted water. Bring to a boil and then just simmer until they are starting to get tender. Do not over cook them. You want them to maintain their shape and not mush up. Once you put them in the chowder, they will cook and soften up a little more. Melt butter in sauce pan. Then add flour and make a roux--stirring until smooth, but not brown (about 4-5 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
  • 2. Now place all other ingredients except potatoes and half and half and heavy cream in another soup pot, and bring ingredients to a boil. Cook until vegetables are soft, and then add potatoes and heat.
  • 3. Add roux from sauce pan and continue cooking the chowder, stirring frequently until chowder thickens. Once thickened, add hot half and half and heavy cream. (of course, you can use milk instead if you want to lighten up this recipe). Then adjust seasoning if needed. Serve it with warm bread! Your family and friends will love it!

This chowder is a great way to use up leftover smoked salmon. It's also a great meal to make ahead of time.

I'm not a fan of smoked salmon, so I wasn't sure if I would like this chowder. But I was pleasantly surprised! The smokiness was subtle and the chowder was very flavorful.

This chowder was a lot of work to make, and it didn't really live up to my expectations.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chowder turned out lumpy. Not sure what went wrong.

The chowder was a bit bland. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to taste.

I've never had smoked salmon chowder before, but this recipe was amazing! The smokiness of the salmon paired perfectly with the brininess of the clams. Will definitely be making this again.
