Ingredients

6-8

2 pcs salmon fillet

4 cups water or stock

1 leek

1/4 cup butter

5-7 potatoes

1-2 carrots

1 cup heavy cream

salt and pepper to taste

dill to garnish

Directions

Wash, clean, and dice all vegetables.

Remove scales from salmon fillet or remove skin entirely, up to you. Dice.

In a pot, melt butter. Add diced leeks and cook on medium-high about 5 minutes until the leeks wilt a bit.

Add water (or stock) and other vegetables. Bring to a boil and cook on medium heat about 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are ready.

Add salt and pepper to taste at the end. Serve with dill as garnish.
