This luxurious fresh salmon chowder has become a standard in the Pacific Northwest, where fresh salmon is abundant. Salmon chowder is best when freshly made, so try to avoid leftovers.
Preparation time: 10 to 15 minutes

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
3 medium leeks

Salt to taste, about 1/2 teaspoon

Cut the green parts from the leeks and discard; thoroughly rinse the white parts and then slice.

Reduce the pot’s heat to medium-low.
Add the salmon.
