Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb salmon fillets
- 4 cups fish stock or water
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 cup leeks, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp dill, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Bring the fish stock or water to a gentle simmer in a large pot. Prepare the potatoes, onion, carrots, and leeks while it heats.
- Add the diced potatoes, chopped onion, sliced carrots, and chopped leeks to the simmering stock. Cook until tender, about 15–20 minutes.
- Cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces, gently add to the pot, and simmer for 5–7 minutes until cooked through.

Notes
For best results, use gentle heat to keep the salmon tender. If using store-bought fish stock, taste before adding salt as many stocks are salty.
