Ingredients

Butter

1 tbsp olive oil

1 onion (finely chopped)

3 Marabel potatoes (peeled and cut into 3cm chunks)

900ml Extra Special Fish Stock

1 tsp allspice

2 bay leaves

500g salmon fillets (skinned and cubed)

150ml double cream

5 tbsp chopped fresh dill, plus a sprig to garnish

Method

Heat the olive oil in a large pan and cook the onion over a low heat for 5 minutes. Add the potato chunks and turn up the heat to medium. Cook for a further 3 minutes, stirring.

Pour in the fish stock, add the allspice and bay leaves, then simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.

Remove the bay leaves, then add the salmon cubes and cream. Cook gently for 10 minutes. Stir in the chopped dill, 1/2 tsp salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.

Serve the soup in bowls, garnished with a sprig of fresh dill, alongside slices of buttered rye bread.
