Salmon Recipes
Leftover Salmon Fillet Chowder
Description
"This came about because I had some extra cooked salmon fillets to use from the previous night. You could certainly add your own choice of veggies to this (carrot, corn, whatever) and change the cheese. I thought it turned out surprisingly good considering I was winging it. Hope you like it. (I have amended the cooking time based on reviews.)"
