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.

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.
