Step-by-Step Instructions for Fish Chowder
  1. Begin by washing and dicing the Yukon gold potatoes, chopping the onion, and mincing the garlic. Cut the white fish into 1-inch chunks.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the sautéed mixture and stir for about 2 minutes to form a roux.
  4. Pour in the broth gradually while whisking to prevent lumps, then add the potatoes and bay leaf. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Add the fish and corn, cooking for another 5-7 minutes. Stir in the cream and season with salt and pepper before serving.
  6. Remove the bay leaf, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.
