Salmon and Veggie Chowder

Salmon Veggie Chowder
One-pot meals are the bomb. I love the ease of throwing everything together into a single cooking vessel without the need for multiple devices or contraptions or messes and BAM – awesomeness in minutes and happy full tummies as a result. This chowder was born from the last package of wild caught salmon gifted to us from clients at the gym. The husband of these two particular folks ventures off to Alaska every year and comes home with loads of salmon, and we were lucky recipients of their over abundance. We ate a lot of salmon soon after this awesome gift but one more salmon filet needed to be finessed in a way different than the standard grill, broil, or pan fry, otherwise, my children’s love of salmon may have ended that day because truthfully, there is sometimes too much of a good thing. Therefore, I decided to make chowder! I have other seafood chowder recipes that my family loves but I decided to do a spin on the norm and came up with this chowder based on the ingredients I had on hand and the end result was a flavorful one-pot bomb of goodness that I know we will make again and again!

I hope you love this as much as we do and as always, enjoy!

    Hi Sarah,
    So glad to “hear your voice” again on this new website! I wondered how much dairy your family consumes now? Maybe you could address that in a future post? Thanks!

    1. Thank you Demi! Yes, I will absolutely address that – in fact I’m working on a post now called “eat food that doesn’t hurt your body”! Coming soon!!

    We, too, were gifted some wild salmon and we made this on Saturday and ate leftovers on Monday…even better! I substituted brussels with zucchini (since that is what I had) it was just perfect. I love how can make your recipes “fit” what’s in your fridge!

    1. I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe! Yay!
