Wild Smoked Salmon Black Bean Chili Recipe
Wild smoked salmon black bean chili is a unique and tasty riff on traditional chili. When I lived in Alaska, late summer into fall was time to smoke salmon for the winter. In my mind fall is chili season, so it just made sense that to create a wild smoked salmon chili.
The smokiness of the smoked salmon perfectly compliments the traditional chili flavors.
Smoked Salmon Black Bean Chili
Nothing warms a cold night like a great bowl of chili - this is truly a unique take on a great a traditional dish.
This 30-minute chili is super easy to make and perfect for getting a hearty meal on the table any night of the week.
Since the smoked salmon is added at the end of cooking you won't need to cook a separate pot for the vegetarians in the family - just remove the number of veggie servings and keep warm before adding the smoked salmon.

Recipe Notes
This is a quick cooking version of chili and the smoked salmon should be added at the end of cooking. If you are making a large batch to freeze leave the salmon out and add it once you have reheated the chili.

My husband loves good chili and the addition of the Salmon in this recepie was a nice twist. Thank you!
I used this receipe with my own smoked salmon and won 1st place over 30 other chilis. I used 1/2 an onion and doubled the garlic. I added 2T brown sugar and mixed in about 1/2 cup of cilantro directly in the chili.
