Salmon goes so well with chowder. I make it all the time now. Thanks for the recipe.
This is a great alternative to the traditional Clam Chowder. My husband loves the salmon more than the flavor of clams. It’s a keeper recipe!
I’m a big fan of salmon so this chowder was such a treat. I also loved the corn you included in this recipe.
