In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream, ensuring the mixture stays smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Add the salmon and shrimp to the pot. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and tender.

Step 9

Season the bisque with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaf and discard it before serving.

Step 11

Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley for a vibrant finishing touch.

Step 12

Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers on the side for dipping.
