Hot Smoked Salmon Chowder Dip

Serves 
4
1 hour

Adding smoked salmon to a chowder brings smoky sweet notes to an otherwise heavy creamy seafood soup. This recipe captures the richness of a chowder, but takes away the heavy dairy aspect by using a potato base. Each chip brings a dip of chowder to your tastebuds.

Ingredients

100 grams of Aoraki Hot Smoked Salmon

2 medium baking potatoes

1 tbsp each of diced carrot and celery

1 tbsp of (preferably fresh) corn kernels

2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil

1 clove of fresh minced garlic

1-3 tbsp of water

Method

Step 1

Bake the potatoes, remove flesh from skins and sieve (or mash).

Step 2

Sweat* the carrot, celery, corn and garlic in a teaspoon of the olive oil. (*Sweat: to lightly cook without browning).

Step 3

Whisk the remaining olive oil into the potatoes (take care not to over whisk as it could cause some varieties of potato to become glue-like).

Step 4

Adjust the texture with some of the water.

Step 5

Fold in the other ingredients and season to taste.

Step 6

Enjoy with your favourite crackers or chips. (You can customise the dip with herbs or vegetables).
