Alaskan Salmon Chowder

Chef's Notes

Measuring Units used, 1 cup = 240 ml, 1 teaspoon = 5 ml.
Instant Pot used = 3 quart Luxe 
You can add corn if you want. In that case add about ⅓ cup frozen or fresh corns while adding the cream. Adding corn will slightly make the Chowder dense.
Add more cream if you want to and adjust the other liquids accordingly. We love the chowder with little cream and we love it light not thick or dense.
You cut short on the butter quantity. We love a little more butter.
Today's recipe is not a thick & heavy Boston Style Chowder but a New England style light Chowder that's creamy. If you want to make it Boston Style, prepare a light roux and add it to the Chowder. Read the post for more details.
 If you prefer a light Chowder you may replace the cream in today's recipe with whole milk.
If you do not have leek handy sub it with equal parts white or yellow onion.
You may add raw Salmon chunks directly to the Chowder and simmer the soup to just cook through the fish. 
Flash roasting the fresh Salmon Chunks locks the juices in the fish & makes it tender.
You may use Canned Salmon for todays Salmon Chowder Recipe. In that case drain the water from the can and break the canned salmon into chunks with the help of a fork. For better taste use wild caught canned Salmon.
If you prefer crispy fried bacon you may add it as garnish. In that case slice the bacon into small squares and fry them first in butter & add them as a garnish.
