Salmon Chowder - Cooking Alaska Wild Salmon

Wild Alaska Salmon Chowder

An easy and healthy dinner with a cherished Alaskan resource

by The Alaska Life

We are blessed to live in Alaska where we can catch Wild Alaska Salmon to feed our families. Nothing beats pulling a beautiful salmon fillet out of the freezer for a delicious and healthy dinner for your family (like an easy Sockeye salmon recipe)!  What are you going to do with the leftovers?  Reheating is an option ... and so is making an entirely new dish!  This salmon chowder is the perfect answer for salmon leftovers and a staple meal in the fall and winter, or even in the summer when the temperature drops on a rainy day.  Serve with french bread, green salad, and chilled white wine for a meal that won't disappoint!
