Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup of sliced carrots and 1 cup of leeks, seasoned with a pinch of kosher salt. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
- Incorporate 2 cups of Yukon Gold potatoes diced into ¾-inch pieces and 4 cups of seafood stock into the pot. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce to medium heat, cover, and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
- Gently stir in 1 pound of skin-off fresh salmon fillet, cut into bite-sized pieces, along with ½ cup of crème fraîche. Cover the pot and allow to simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.
- Stir in about 1 cup of freshly chopped dill and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Serve immediately in warm bowls, garnished with extra dill.

Notes
For optimal freshness and flavor, prepare the vegetable base ahead of time and add the salmon and cream just before serving.
