This is a twist on the usual smoked haddock chowder.
This is a twist on the usual smoked haddock chowder. Using the hot smoked salmon pieces reduces the cooking time and counts as your recommended weekly portion of oily fish. Salmon is rich in the long-chain omega 3 fatty acids that are good for heart health and can reduce symptoms of inflammation.
