Directions:

  1. Heat butter in a 6-quart saucepan or small Dutch oven over medium heat. Place salmon in the pan in a single layer; cook, turning once, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the salmon. Remove salmon to a plate and set aside.
  2. Heat oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add onion and salt; sauté until onion is tender but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add celery and garlic; sauté 30 seconds. Add potatoes; stir to coat. Stir in stock, corn, okra (if using) and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until potatoes are tender, about 8 minutes.
  3. Remove soup from heat. Remove 3 cups of the soup and puree it in a blender until smooth. Add yogurt and process on low just until blended. Add puree, half at a time, to soup and mix well. Gently stir in the reserved salmon and heat through over low heat. Garnish with parsley.
