✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Salmon
• 4 Potatoes
• 2 Leeks
• 6 cups Fish stock
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1/2 cup Dill
• 2 tbsp Butter

Steps

1. Sweat the leeks in butter until silky; add the stock and potatoes and simmer 15 minutes.
2. Add the salmon in big chunks and poach 6–8 minutes until just opaque — the fish finishes in the residual heat.
3. Stir in the cream off the boil and an indecent amount of dill.
4. Serve with rye bread; lohikeitto is Finland's hug in a bowl.
5. A knob of butter melting on top of each bowl is the classic grandmother's finishing touch.
