About
Broth
Variations on this creamy fish soup are found in all the Scandinavian countries but the two common ingredients to them all are salmon and dill. This is very filling and more of a complete meal than a first course. Wild salmon is undoubtedly one of the richest sources of omega-3 essential fatty acids, and it has a better flavour than the farmed sort.
