Leek And Salmon Chowder Recipes

CREAMY SALMON, LEEK & POTATO TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bring a medium pan of water to the boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 8 mins. Drain and leave to steam-dry in a colander for a few minutes. Toss the potatoes with ½ of the oil and plenty of seasoning in a baking tray. Put in the oven for 20 mins, tossing halfway through the cooking time.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the leek and fry for 5 mins, or until beginning to soften. Stir through the garlic for 1 min, then add the cream, capers and 75ml hot water, then bring to the boil. Stir through the chives.
• Heat the grill to high. Pour the creamy leek mixture over the potatoes, then sit the salmon fillets on top. Grill for 7-8 mins, or until just cooked through. Serve topped with extra chives and capers and a salad on the side, if you like.

LEEK AND POTATO CHOWDER

Steps:

• Clean leeks by cutting off the roots and the tips of the leaves. Make a vertical cut from the root end to the tops, being careful to not cut through completely. The leeks will now open like the pages of a book, and any mud can be cleaned out between the leaves under the faucet. Slice the cleaned leeks into quarter-inch strips.
• Melt half the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute leeks in hot butter until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes; transfer to a slow cooker.
• Melt remaining butter in the same skillet over low heat. Gradually whisk flour into the melted butter until the mixture forms a clump of dough. Slowly stream chicken broth into the skillet, continually whisking until the broth is entirely incorporated; pour over the mixture in the slow cooker. Add bacon and potatoes to the slow cooker. Season mixture with salt and pepper; stir.
• Cook on Low until the potatoes are soft, stirring water into the mixture if it gets too thick, at least 2 hours. Stir half-and-half into the mixture and continue cooking for 1 hour more.

SALMON AND LEEK CHOWDER

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large heavy-bottomed pan, add the leeks and a splash of water, cover and sweat the leeks over a medium heat, until soft. It will take around 15 minutes.
• At the same time, put the salmon in a pan and add the milk. Bring to a boil, then turn down immediately and let the fish poach gently for around 5 minutes.
• Add the stock to the leeks and drop in the potato chunks. Bring to the boil and then simmer, until the potatoes are just tender.
• Break the fish into large flakes (removing and discarding the skin) and add the milk and fish to the leeks and potatoes. Season with pepper, pour in the double cream and heat through.
• Serve in warmed soup bowls with coriander scattered on top.

SALMON WITH LEEKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss leeks with oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing once, until beginning to soften, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Remove leeks from oven, toss with pan juices to coat, and push to edges of baking sheet. Arrange salmon pieces in center, and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Return to oven; roast until salmon is just opaque throughout, 10 to 15 minutes (depending on thickness). Serve salmon with leeks and lemon wedges.
