Print Recipe

Finnish Salmon Soup is a creamy, comforting dish featuring tender salmon, potatoes, and fresh dill, perfect for a wholesome Nordic meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 400g fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into chunks
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 small leek, cleaned and sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
  • 1 liter fish or vegetable stock
  • 200 ml heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Fresh dill, chopped (to taste)

  • Juice of half a lemon

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat and sauté the leek and carrot until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the diced potatoes and stock to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  3. Add the salmon chunks to the soup and simmer gently for 5–7 minutes, until the fish is cooked through.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and chopped dill. Season with salt, white pepper, and lemon juice to taste.
  5. Warm through without boiling, then remove from heat and serve hot.

Notes

For added depth, add a splash of dry white wine along with the stock, or serve with fresh rye bread on the side.
