Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced carrots and leeks, seasoning them generously with kosher salt. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Once the vegetables have softened, incorporate the cubed Yukon Gold potatoes into the pot. Pour in 4 cups of seafood stock and increase the heat to bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  3. Gently fold in 1 pound of salmon fillet cubes and 1 cup of crème fraîche into the soup. Stir well to combine, then cover the pot and let it simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of chopped fresh dill, adjusting seasoning with freshly ground black pepper and extra salt if needed. Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional dill and a sprinkle of black pepper.
