Prep 🥒
Dice 1 onion, 2 carrots, 1 celery stalk, and 2 medium potatoes.
Mince 2 garlic cloves.
Cut ½ lb salmon into bite-sized chunks.
Slice lemon wedges for serving.

How to Cook 🍳
In a medium pot over medium heat, warm 1 tbsp olive oil or butter. Add onion, carrot, and celery (the mirepoix). Sauté 5–7 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook 1 more minute.
Pour in vegetable stock. Add potatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to simmer for 7 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
Sprinkle salmon chunks with ButcherBox Lemon Pepper Seasoning. Gently add them to the pot and poach 4–5 minutes until opaque and flaky.
Stir in heavy cream (or coconut milk) and warm for 1–2 minutes. Do not boil.
Ladle chowder into bowls. Garnish with fresh dill or chives and a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
