Prep Time: 30 Min | Cook Time: 1 hr
- Ingredients
- 4 tbs unsalted butter
- 1/2 pound bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 3 stalks celery, diced
- 1 small onion, minced
- 1-2 jalapeno, thinly sliced w/ seeds
- 1 bunch scallions, finely chopped
1 whole garlic, minced - 4 cups chicken stock (or seafood stock)
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into one inch pieces
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp black pepper
- 1-2 tbsp cornstarch (slurry)
- 2 cups frozen corn
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 (1.5 lbs) salmon, skin removed and cut into 1in pieces
- Instructions
- Pre-heat smoker to a low temp smoke. You just want the salmon to absorb smoke and not fully cook. I used applewood
- Season w/ your favorite Cajun or BBQ rub
- Place salmon on a baking sheet to catch any juices.
- Smoke till it reaches around 90-100 degrees internal
- In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add the bacon and cook till crispy
- Remove bacon and set aside
- Add celery, onions, jalapeños, scallions and garlic and cook until softened
- Add the broth, potatoes, salt, pepper and cooked bacon.
- Bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 min
- Stir the cornstarch slurry into the broth and bring to a boil, until slightly thickened
- Turn the heat down to a simmer, add in the corn and heavy cream
- Add in salmon pieces and give it a gentle mix so you don’t break up the salmon
- Cover the pot and simmer for ten minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
- Top with extra scallions, more jalapeño’s and bacon crumbles then Enjoy!🤙🏽
