SIMPLE SALMON CHOWDER

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium heat, and saute onion, fennel and celery until fragrant, 5-6 minutes. Add garlic, fennel seeds, thyme and saute two more minutes, stirring. Add the smoked paprika.
• Add vermouth, and cook it off, about 1-2 minutes. Add stock, salt, thyme and bay, and bring to a simmer over high heat. Add potatoes and stir. Bring to a simmer, cover and simmer over med-low heat until tender, about 8-10 minutes (check at 7 mins, be careful to not overcook). While this is cooking prep the salmon.
• Cut salmon into 2-inch pieces, removing any of the brown fat ( see notes) and bones. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
• Once the potatoes are just fork-tender, add the milk and bring to a low simmer (do not boil) and add the salmon, gently poaching it in the soup for just about 2 minutes. Turn heat off. Fish will continue to cook. If you continue to simmer the soup any longer it may cause a slight curdling. ( Don't worry, it's still edible, but not as pretty.) Flake the fish apart, into bite-sized pieces, with a fork.
• Taste, adjust seasonings to your liking and serve immediately.
• Garnish with fennel fronds, lemon wedges, fresh dill or tarragon.
• Soup will keep 3 days in the fridge.

HARVEST SALMON CHOWDER

• In a large saucepan or stockpot, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
• Add the onion, celery, green pepper, and garlic and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the potatoes, carrots, broth, salt, pepper, and dill seed. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Add the zucchini and yellow squash and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Flake the salmon and add to the pot along with its liquid, the milk, and the corn.
• Heat to boil through before serving.

HARVEST SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Arrange walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in oven for 5 minutes, or until nuts begin to brown.
• In a large bowl, toss together the spinach, walnuts, cranberries, blue cheese, tomatoes, avocado, and red onion.
• In a small bowl, whisk together jam, vinegar, walnut oil, pepper, and salt. Pour over the salad just before serving, and toss to coat.

HEARTY SALMON CHOWDER

Steps:

• Put all ingredients, except salmon, in a large dutch oven or stock pot on medium-high until it comes to a slow boil and then reduce heat to medium. (You could also easily put everything in a crock-pot as another option.).
• When potatoes are cooked through, turn heat off and add gently flaked salmon to the pot and stir together. Then, cover the pot with a lid until you're ready to serve!
• -----The secret ingredient that makes this chowder shine is definitely the cream cheese. I've made it without it and it's awesome, but with it, it really takes the prize! Also, just a side note that I do cut larger pieces of the cauliflower and squash into smaller pieces. I also cut the italian green beans in half as well. It's a little more trouble, but it makes it look more appealing to me and more ready to eat even for children.
