2. Add salmon steaks in a single layer, pour in wine. Cover and cook over low heat until salmon flakes when tested with a fork (10 to 12 minutes).
3. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, cook bacon in its own drippings until lightly browned. Remove from heat, drain on paper towel. Break each into bits.
4. Remove and discard bay leaf. Remove salmon steaks; discard salmon bones and skin and divide salmon into chunks and set aside.

6. Serve chowder hot, spooning several pieces of bacon into each bowl.
