• 750 ml Water
• 4 pcs Potato
• 3 pcs Bay leaf
• 300 g Cod
• 300 g Salmon
• 1 pinch Black pepper

• 1 bunch Fresh dill or parsley

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to lightly caramelize. Add the chopped carrot and cook for about 4 more minutes until tender.
2. Pour in the fish broth and water, add the diced potatoes, bay leaves, black pepper, and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
