  • If using salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, and cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Zest and halve lime. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half.

    Cut potatoes into 1/4" dice.

    Coarsely chop cilantro (no need to stem).

    Stem jalapeño, halve, seed, remove ribs, and mince. Wash hands and cutting board after working with jalapeño.

  2. 2

    Start the Chowder

    Place a medium pot over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add jalapeños (to taste) and corn to hot pot. Stir occasionally until vegetables are slightly tender, 3-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Finish the Chowder

    Add potatoes, garlic salt, 1/2 tsp. lime zest, cream base, and coconut milk to hot pot. Bring to a simmer. Don't worry if coconut milk has solidified. It is part of natural processes. Break up as needed.

    Once simmering, reduce heat to low. Stir occasionally until potatoes are tender, 18- 22 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Stir in half the cilantro (reserve remaining for garnish) and 2 tsp. lime juice.

    While chowder cooks, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Cook the Scallops

    Pat scallops dry and season all over with rotisserie chicken seasoning. Scallops will vary in amount as they are portioned by weight. Don't worry, the sweet flavor and tender texture will be the same.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add scallops to hot pan and cook until browned and scallops reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 1-2 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish
