Notes
If you cleaned and gutted your own salmon, scale and save the skin, cut it into pieces. Dry it out with paper towels, season with salt then place it in the oven then bake it in the oven at 180C for 20 mins or until fish skin is crispy.
Fish skin fried to crisp tastes so GOOD! A great idea to serve the chowder with them.
I sure would love this! Looks good! Yum yummmm!!!
Ah, I love a good creamy soup. Spring is coming here, but we’ve still got some chilly days left, and this sounds like a perfect recipe to warm up!

The base of your chowder looks a lot like one I would make! Just double up on the corn and potatoes for more emphasis on those lovely veggies. 🙂
I need to make more chowders–I agree, so tasty!
Such a beautiful bowl of comfort. Fish chowder was a staple in my house growing up – it just makes me feel so good, though Mom never served it with crispy fish skins! Yum
I love a good fish chowder and this one looks like a keeper.
