Ingredients:
- 1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into bite-sized chunks
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups fish or chicken broth
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions:
- Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Cook the potatoes: Add the broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Stir in the diced potatoes, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Add the salmon: Gently add the salmon chunks to the pot, and simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Finish the soup: Stir in the heavy cream, fresh dill, and lemon juice. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh dill and lemon wedges. Serve hot with crusty bread or a simple salad on the side.
