Tips
-
If you don't have fish stock, you can use vegetable stock or water instead, but fish stock will make the soup taste more delicious.
-
Fresh dill is a classic seasoning for Norwegian salmon soup, so don't omit it.
-
After adding the milk and stock, stir constantly to prevent the batter from clumping.
