Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 lb salmon fillet, cut into chunks Use halal-friendly fish.
  • 2 cups potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth Choose according to dietary preference.
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh dill or parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by chopping your onion, dicing your potatoes, and cutting the salmon into chunks. Set everything aside for easy access during cooking.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil and toss in the chopped onion. Sauté it until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic, sautéing for an extra minute until fragrant.
  2. Stir in the diced potatoes and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes. You want the potatoes to become tender but not mushy.
  3. Gently add the salmon chunks and corn to the pot, then simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let it heat through, allowing the chowder to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with fresh dill or parsley. Enjoy hot!

Notes

If salmon isn't available, feel free to use other fish varieties that suit your taste — just ensure they are halal-friendly! Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for a month. Reheat on the stove gently, adding a splash of broth or cream if needed.
