Heavenly delicious salmon fish fillet soup :
Ingredients
some Salmon fish pcs with bones for fish stock.
1 onion peeled and cut in half
1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
5 cups water
3 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
3 bay leaves
1 leek sliced thinly (white part only)
1 tablespoon butter
500 g boneless Salmon filets
1 cup of whipping cream
bunch of dill chopped green onion as garnish optional
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large pot, put the Salmon bones with head, the onion, a teaspoon of salt, whole peppercorns and water then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes. Skim off any impurities or foam.
Strain the soup through a cheesecloth inside a colander (over a large bowl) the ensure the broth is clear and free of impurities. Discard the Salmon bones and vegetables, or give the fish to your cat.
In a frying pan, melt butter and sauté the leeks until they soften. Set aside.
Return fish stock to the pot and add the chopped potatoes, sautéed leeks and bay leafs. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft.
Add the boneless Salmon pieces, which should be cut in approx 2" cubed pieces. If the pieces are cut too small and thin, they will fall apart. Cook for about 10 minutes. Add whipping cream and stir.
Add chopped dill, season with salt and pepper according to taste. This recipe loves black pepper.
Garnish with chopped green onion or parsley
