Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients. You can use a whole pink salmon or separate parts. I have the head, tail, backbone, and a few steaks. If using frozen fish, thaw it in advance. Wash and peel the vegetables.
Step 2
Clean the fish by separating the fillet from the bones. Cut the fillet into small cubes.
Step 3
Place the fish head (if available), tail, and remaining bones into a pot. Pour in clean, cold water. Add a whole peeled onion, black peppercorns, and a bay leaf.
Step 4
Place the pot over medium heat. Once it starts boiling, skim off the foam with a spoon. Then reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let the broth simmer for 20–25 minutes, depending on the amount of fish used.
Step 5
While the broth is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Grate the carrot using a coarse grater.
Step 6
Clean the bell pepper from seeds and chop it into small pieces.
Step 7
Cut the potatoes into small cubes.
Step 8
Strain the broth through a fine sieve and discard the cooked fish bones and other solids. Return the strained broth to the pot and place it back on low heat.
Step 9
Bring the broth to a boil, then add the chopped vegetables, rinsed rice, and fish fillet cubes. Season with salt to taste. Let it return to a boil and then simmer gently for about 10 minutes. The soup is ready when the potatoes are soft and easily mashed with a spoon.
Step 10
Turn off the heat, cover the pot with a lid, and let the soup rest for 10–15 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped herbs. Enjoy your meal!
