Preparation
STEP 1
In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter and add the leek, carrot, celery, potato and garlic. Sauté until vegetables are just beginning to become tender, about 7-9 minutes.
STEP 2
Add the salt, pepper and flour. Stir well to coat evenly.
STEP 3
Add the wine to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Cook for about 1 minute, then add the stock, bay leaves, cayenne and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes until vegetables are very tender.
STEP 4
Add the chopped salmon and bring back to a simmer for 5-7 minutes until salmon is cooked through. When the salmon is cooked, add the half-and-half or cream and bring just to a simmer. Cook for 1 minute then remove from heat.
STEP 5
Add the fresh dill, adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and lemon juice and serve.
