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.

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.
