Quick Seafood Chowder

Ingredients:

• 1 fresh or frozen fish fillet such as salmon, orange roughy or cod
• 1/2 of 24 oz. pkg. frozen hash brown potatoes with onions and peppers

• 1/4 cup cooked bacon pieces
• 3/4 tsp. dried dill weed or fresh dill
• 1/4 tsp. pepper

Directions:

Thaw fish if frozen. Rinse and drain. Cut fish into 1 inch pieces. Set aside. Meanwhile, in large saucepan, combine potatoes and water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in evaporated milk, condensed soup, bacon, dill weed and pepper. Return to boil. Add fish and pimento; reduce heat.

Cover and simmer for 3-5 minutes more or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. To serve, ladle into serving bowls. If desired, sprinkle with additional fresh dill.
