Salmon-Sausage Coddle

This dish is amazing and packed full of goodness. I have used Italian sausage or brats, depending on what I have on hand. Just remove the casing.

1 leek (white part only), chopped

1 bunch fresh kale, chopped

1 (12-oz) bag carrot sticks, chopped

2 tablespoons Italian parsley, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped

1 (24-oz) bag baby gold (or red) potatoes, sliced

1 lb salmon fillets, skin removed

1 lb chicken sausage with kale (or mild Italian chicken sausage), casing removed

1 teaspoon olive oil

4 cups no-salt-added chicken stock (or broth)

1 cup water

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon garlic-herb butter

Cut leek (white part only) into quarters, then rinse and chop into small pieces.

Chop kale (4 cups), carrots, parsley, and thyme. Halve potatoes.

Cut salmon into 1-inch cubes. Remove sausage from casing (wash hands). Preheat large stockpot on medium 2–3 minutes. Add oil and sausage; brown 4–5 minutes, stirring to crumble meat, and until no pink remains.

Stir in carrots, leeks, and thyme; cook 2–3 minutes or until leeks have softened. Stir in stock, water, potatoes, kale, salt, and pepper; bring to a simmer, then cover and continue to simmer 25–30 minutes or until potatoes are very tender.

Gently stir in salmon, parsley, and vinegar. Bring mixture to a simmer, then cover and remove from heat. Let coddle stand 5–6 minutes until salmon is cooked through and 145°F. Stir butter in gently and serve.
