How to make it
Cover the head and bones with a litre and a half of water, add the allspice and bay, and simmer twenty-five minutes, skimming. Strain it.
Fry the leek and carrot in butter for five minutes without letting them colour.
Pour in the strained stock, add the potato and cook fifteen minutes until soft.
Add the cream and warm it without boiling. Season.
Slip in the pieces of salmon and hold them at a bare simmer for exactly five minutes. The fish should stay in whole pieces.
Ladle into bowls and add a knob of butter and a generous handful of dill to each.
