Southwest Salmon Chowder

Thaw salmon, if frozen. Rinse salmon fillets; pat dry. To poach fillets, in a large skillet bring the water to boiling. Add fillets. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 6 to 8 minutes or until salmon flakes easily. Remove from skillet, discarding liquid. Flake salmon into 1/2-inch pieces (If using canned salmon, skip this step and omit the water).

In a 6-qt. Dutch oven heat oil over medium-high. Add sweet pepper and white parts of onions; cook and stir 3 minutes or just until tender. Stir in flour; cook and stir 1 minute more.

Gradually stir in broth. Add potatoes, milk, salt, black pepper and ground ancho pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 15 minutes or until slightly thick and vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Add corn; cook and stir 2 minutes more. Gently stir in poached or canned salmon and lime zest; heat through.

Top servings with green parts of onions and, if desired, avocado, lime wedges and/or additional ground ancho pepper.
