Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Place the salmon soup set (head, tail, fins), leek, celery, halved onion, bay leaf, thyme, and black pepper into a large pot. Pour in three liters of water, cover with a lid, and set over low heat for 10-20 minutes. Then, add two potatoes to the broth and let it simmer for another 20 minutes. Don't forget to add salt.
Step 2
After the time has passed, remove the potatoes and mash them in a separate bowl with a fork. Strain the broth.
Step 3
Cut the salmon fillet and the remaining potatoes into cubes measuring 1.5–2 cm on each side, then add the potatoes to the broth first, followed by the fish after 10 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, add cream and a tablespoon of flour (which can be omitted) to the mashed potatoes in the bowl, mix thoroughly, and add to the prepared soup.
Step 5
The finishing touch is to add butter.
Step 6
Serve at the table with warm Finnish bread, generously sprinkled with dill and freshly ground pepper.
