• 1⁄4 lb bacon, coarsely chopped

1. In a medium pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until the fat renders. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel to drain, reserving 2 tablespoons fat in the pot. Add the potatoes and onion and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, for 3 minutes. Stir in the creamed corn, milk and 1 cup water and bring to a simmer. Add the salmon, lower the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender and the salmon is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
2. Using a fork, break up the salmon into small chunks. Stir in the cooked bacon and season with salt and pepper.

This was delicious. However, I did not follow the recipe exactly. I used leftover grilled salmon and corn on the cob instead of uncooked salmon and canned creamed corn. I doubled the milk and added about 1/2 c of water. Next time I might add a bit of fresh dill. My family loved it so I will be making it again soon.
