How to make salmon and whitefish chowder

Preparing the fish and vegetables

1. Do you want a nice dish of healthy fish chowder? My trick is to cut the vegetables very small but leave the fish fillets as a whole without breaking them into chunks.

Cooking the chowder

1. Heat the oil and fry the onion until it turns translucent.  Add all the other vegetables (carrots, celery, potato, and corn) and saute for 5 minutes on high heat.
2. Add the water together with the homemade vegetable stock (optional), and the lemon zest. Cover and let it simmer for 10 minutes on medium heat.
3. In the meantime, grill the fish and remove the skin when ready.
4. Finally, add the milk and flour if you want it creamy, and place the fish in the pot either as whole-filled or in chunks as you prefer. Cook for another 10 minutes.
5. Serve it hot leaving the fish as whole pieces or cut into chunks. Top with the minced parsley.

Tips

• Try to leave the fish in whole pieces
• Cut all the vegetables very small

Variations

• More spicy. Use more pepper.
• Packed with veggies. Add more vegetables such as carrots and corn.
