    1. Peel, wash, and cut the potatoes into medium dice. Put the diced potatoes in a large pot, cover with fresh water, and set over the heat. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook the potatoes until about half done, around 10 minutes. 2. Prep the salmon fillet. Lay it on a large cutting board and pull out the backbone, holding it with a paper towel so you don't cut your hands on the sharp edges. With a sharp knife, trim away the rib bones, and use tweezers to pull out any small pin bones. Cut the fillet into small pieces, roughly the same size as the diced potatoes. 3. Peel, wash, and dry the onion, then cut it into small dice. Melt a small piece of butter in a skillet and add the onion. Sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until soft and translucent. 4. Once the potatoes are nearly done, add the sautéed onion and the salmon pieces to the pot. Cook everything together, covered, for about 10 minutes over moderate heat. 5. Season with salt and add the spices (bay leaf, allspice) to taste. 6. Rinse and dry the fresh herbs (dill, parsley), then finely chop them. Add the herbs to the soup along with a pat of butter, and pour in the cream. Stir everything well. Bring the soup almost to a boil (don't let it boil, or the cream will curdle!) and immediately take the pot off the heat. Let the soup rest a few minutes. Your creamy pink salmon soup is ready! Ladle it into bowls and serve. It usually disappears in no time. Enjoy!
