Salmon Chowder

Aaron has had this little slab of Salmon sitting in the freezer for nearly one month now. Last night, I decided it was time to cook it!

This recipe was inspired from Mark's Daily Apple - The Primal Blueprint CookBook actually called Arctic Char Chowder but I used Salmon instead of Char. I halved the recipe as we only had 200g Salmon


Salmon Chowder.. pretty good considering I dont like Salmon
 INGREDIENTS
  • 200g Wild Salmon
  • 1/8 cup Butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped Onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped Carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped Celery
  • 1 cup Vegetable Broth (I used Chicken as I didn't have Vegetable)
  • 14oz can Organic Crushed Tomato
  • 1/2 teaspoon Thyme
  • 1 whole Bay Leaf (I didn't have this)
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream (optional)
METHOD
  • Make sure bone and skin is removed from Salmon
  • Chop into bite sized cubes
  • Melt Butter in heavy pot over medium heat
  • Add Onion, Celery and Carrot and cook for 5mins
  • Add Broth, Tomatoes, Bay Leaf and Thyme
  • Cover and let simmer for 15mins
  • Add Salmon and Cream (I didn't use the cream)
  • Stir and cook for a further 10-15mins, stirring occasionally
  • Remove Bay Leaf
  • Adjust Seasoning if needed (I added a dash of Basil)
Let it cool for a bit before serving because I burnt my mouth being an eager beaver!

Enjoy!

Finally got motivated to do a workout today. My hamstrings have been crazy sore from the strength workout I did with Aaron a few days ago.

This workout took me about 45mins to prepare for as I had to set up the rings outside and it was -7C! So I kept escaping back inside to defrost for a few minutes!
