Ingredients

• 500 grams salmon fillet
• 30 grams unsalted butter
• 1 medium onion
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 celery stalk
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1000 milliliters fish stock or vegetable broth
• 250 milliliters heavy cream
• 200 grams potatoes
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried dill
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vegetables. Dice the onion, carrot, and celery finely. Mince the garlic cloves. Peel and cube the potatoes into small pieces.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and all-purpose flour to the pot. Stir constantly for about 1 minute, allowing the flour to cook slightly.

Step 4

Gradually add the fish stock (or vegetable broth), stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Stir in the cubed potatoes, bay leaf, and dried dill. Let the soup simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 6

Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized chunks and add it to the pot. Season the soup with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Pour in the heavy cream and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, ensuring the salmon is cooked through and the flavors meld.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf, then stir in the lemon juice and fresh dill just before serving.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with additional fresh dill if desired, and serve hot.
