How to Make Salmon Stew

  1. Peel and cube 1 pound of Yukon Gold potatoes. Steam until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain well.
  2. In a Dutch oven or large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 pound skinless salmon fillet, cut into 2-inch pieces. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
  4. Pour in 2 cups of whole milk (or half-and-half for extra richness). Add the steamed potatoes, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not let the mixture boil, as this will curdle the milk.
  6. Remove from heat and serve immediately with saltine crackers or crusty bread for dipping.
