Instructions
Dice the bacon and fry in soup pot until crisp.
Remove bacon to paper towel.
Add chopped onion to the bacon grease and cook until the onion has softened a bit.
Add chicken stock, scalloped potato mix, undrained can of corn, and fresh ground pepper (to your taste). Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, trim the tapered edges from the salmon filet. Smash the trimmings with meat pounder and add to the pot. Check the remaining filet for stray bones and remove.
Cut salmon into 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch cubes and reserve.
When potatoes are rehydrated but still a little firm, add the salmon, bacon, green onion, and the dill. Cook for 5 more minutes.
Add the milk and evaporated milk; stir and cook until heated through.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Sparkling Rose
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Salmon Chowder. Chowder can benefit from a crisp white to cut through the rich, creamy broth - or you can go big or go home with a rich, buttery chardonnay. The Kumeu River Village Chardonnay with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 22 dollars per bottle.

Kumeu River Village Chardonnay
This wine was fermented 25% in old French oak barriques, and 75% in stainless steel tanks, so there is very little oak influence on either nose or palate. This has allowed the vibrant fruit to show through beautifully with lively lime and lemon aromas and a flinty, mineral edginess with hints of fig and white peach.The weighty mid-palate also shows peachy ripeness along with crisp acid minerality that gives the wine a refreshing cleansing quality. This wine is delightful as an aperitif, and even better to drink with fish and shellfish.
