WHAT IS A CHOWDER?

A chowder is a milk or cream based soup or stew. And while a clam and diced potato loaded New England clam chowder is one of the most iconic and famous chowders around, chowder can be made with a vast and varied ingredients list.

Seriously, you can use anything from clams to vegetables to mixed seafood to corn – and pretty much anything in between.

For this savory and creamy chowder, we’re using salmon, potatoes and broccoli.

Not only is it a healthy trinity of ingredients, it brings the flavor in a big-time way!  

HOW TO MAKE SALMON CHOWDER IN A RICE COOKER

We think that (aside from eating this creamy, thick salmon soup) this is the part you’re really going to like!

You see, you can use the inner pot of your Tiger rice cooker to prepare the soup stock and vegetables for your very own salmon chowder.

Now, while you could just cook everything in the rice cooker and be done with it, for this easy salmon recipe we recommend that you dredge the fish in flour and fry it in a saute pan.

This imparts a wonderful caramelization to the outside of your salmon – and gives you fine-tooth controls over the doneness of the fish.  

It’s a simple step that results in perfect flavor and texture for your salmon.

But, hey – your call!

If you do cook the salmon separately for this thick and creamy chowder recipe, simply add the pan fried salmon and broccoli to the rest of your soup components in your rice cooker for 10 minutes before serving.

We promise, you’re going to love it!
