Ingredients

SERVES 4 – Cooker: 5- to 7-quart – Time: 6 minutes at HIGH pressure

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium leek (white and palest green parts), trimmed, cut in half lengthwise, rinsed well, and thinly sliced across
• 1 medium carrot, diced
• 2 ribs celery, diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 large russet potato, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose or rice flour
• ½ cup dry white wine
• 1¾ cups chicken broth, Fish Stock, or Salmon Stock
• 2 cups whole milk
• 4 ounces smoked salmon, flaked
• 1 cup heavy cream
• salt and freshly ground black or white pepper
• oyster crackers, for serving.
• minced fresh chives, for serving.

Method

1. In a 5- to 7-quart pressure cooker, melt the butter with the oil over medium heat
2. When it foams, add the leek, carrot, and celery and cook, stirring a few times, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes
3. Add the garlic, potato, and herbs and cook for 2 minutes, stirring to coat the potato with the fat
4. Sprinkle in the flour and cook a few minutes, stirring
5. Gradually pour in the wine and broth; it will just cover the vegetables
6. Add a bit more broth or water if needed
7. Bring to a boil and simmer for a minute
8. Add the bay leaf if using
9. Close and lock the lid
10. Set the burner heat to high
11. When the cooker reaches HIGH pressure, reduce the burner heat as low as you can and still maintain HIGH pressure
12. Set a timer to cook for 6 minutes
13. Remove the pot from the heat
14. Open the cooker with the Quick Release method
15. Be careful of the steam as you remove the lid
16. The potato and carrot should be tender
17. Discard the bay leaf
18. Stir in the milk and salmon and bring to a low simmer, uncovered
19. Stir in the cream and heat without letting the chowder boil
20. Taste for salt and pepper; go easy on the salt, as the salmon already has plenty
21. Serve immediately with lots of oyster crackers fresh out of the box and chives sprinkled on top
