Salmon and Corn Chowder

This salmon and corn chowder is a sophisticated take on a classic coastal favourite, offering a satisfying and high-protein meal that feels both indulgent and nourishing. The base of the soup combines tender red potatoes and sweet corn kernels with a rich, creamy broth, providing a beautiful contrast to the delicate flakes of fresh salmon that are gently poached within the liquid. Brightened with a splash of lemon and aromatic dill, it is a well-balanced dish that highlights the natural sweetness of the seafood.

Ideal for a comforting weekend lunch or an impressive evening starter, this homemade chowder is surprisingly simple to prepare. Using a single large casserole dish makes for an easy clean-up, while the addition of spring onions and celery provides a subtle savoury depth. Serve this hearty soup with a slice of crusty sourdough or soda bread to soak up the delicious creamy base.

Ingredients for Salmon and Corn Chowder

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 stalks celery, cut into 1/2-inch slices

  • 230g unpeeled small red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground white pepper

  • 1 bunch spring onions, coarsely chopped, including half of greens

  • 1 1/2 cups corn kernels (about 2 ears)

  • 950ml fish or chicken stock

  • 240ml double cream

  • 900g salmon fillets, skin and pin bones removed, cut into 2-inch pieces

  • Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon

  • 1/4 cup minced fresh dill

Prepare a campfire or wood-fired grill for cooking with indirect heat.

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat and sauté the celery for 3 minutes. Add the potatoes, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Stir in the spring onions and corn and add 475ml the stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are almost tender, about 15 minutes.

Add the cream and simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the salmon and lemon zest and simmer gently until the salmon is just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add more stock as needed and lemon juice to taste. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve in bowls, topped with the dill.
