Ingredients
1.5 pounds Fresh salmon fillets (skin removed)
3 tablespoons Butter
1 large Yellow onion (diced)
3 medium Carrots (sliced)
3 stalks Celery (chopped)
4 cloves Garlic (minced)
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes (cubed)
6 cups Fish or vegetable broth
1 cup Heavy cream
¼ cup Fresh dill (chopped)
2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
2 leaves Bay leaves
To taste Salt
To taste Black pepper
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
- Cut your salmon into 1.5-inch chunks. Season generously with salt and pepper. Set aside while you prepare the vegetables
- Melt butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook for 4 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant
- Add carrots, celery, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently
- Pour in the broth and add bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to maintain a steady simmer. Add cubed potatoes and cook for 12-15 minutes until they're fork-tender
- Gently add salmon chunks to the simmering broth. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork
- Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream. Add chopped dill and parsley. Let the soup warm through for 2-3 minutes without boiling
- Remove bay leaves and stir in fresh lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut milk for heavy cream.
If using canned salmon, drain it well and add it during the last few minutes of cooking.
