    Ingredients
    • 12 Ounce (1-1/2 to 2 lb) skin-on salmon fillet, preferably wild-caught

    350 ˚F / 177 ˚C

  • Step 4

    Cook the salmon for 30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. (The exact time will depend on the thickness of the fillet.) There is no need to turn the fish. Using a large thin spatula, transfer the salmon to a wire rack to cool. Remove the skin. (The salmon can be made a day ahead, wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated.) Break into flakes and set aside.

  • Step 5

    Arrange the corn and bacon strips on the grill grate. (The salmon will be roasting while you do this.) Roast the corn and the bacon until the corn is cooked through and browned in spots, turning as needed, and the bacon is crisp, about 15 minutes.

    Ingredients
    • 2  Corn Husks

    • 3 Slices Bacon, sliced

  • Step 6

    In the meantime, bring the cream of potato soup and the milk to a simmer over medium heat in a large saucepan or Dutch oven on the stovetop. Gradually stir in the cream cheese and whisk to blend. Chop the bacon into bits and slice the corn off the cobs using long strokes of a chef's knife.

    Ingredients
    • 4 Can Cream of Potato Soup, Condensed

    • 3 Cup whole milk

    • 8 Ounce cream cheese

  • Step 7

    Add to the soup along with the green onions. Stir in the salmon. Heat gently for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the hot sauce to taste. If the chowder is too thick, add more milk. Serve at once. Enjoy!

    Ingredients
    • 3  green onions, thinly sliced

    • 2 Teaspoon hot sauce
