Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets about 12 oz, skin removed, cut into chunks
  • 4 cups vegetable or fish broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk for a creamy version
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 medium potatoes diced
  • 1 carrot sliced
  • 1 celery stalk chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon fresh dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika optional
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Heat butter or olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Sauté onions, garlic, celery, and carrots until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add potatoes, broth, salt, black pepper, and dill. Bring to a simmer.
  • Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Gently add salmon chunks and let them simmer for 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
  • Stir in heavy cream (or coconut milk) and lemon juice. Let it warm for another 2 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, skip the cream and use extra broth.
  • Use fresh dill and a splash of white wine for extra depth of flavor.
  • Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
