Lettuce Soup with Salmon

This delicate salmon soup of a joyful green color is made from lettuce, although cooking lettuce leaves is not the most common thing for us. We are still used to eating them raw. Try it - it is very delicate and aromatic, quite suitable for holiday dinners and for your usual everyday lunch.

Ingredients

• 3 large heads of lettuce
• 450 g fresh salmon fillet
• 1.5 cups fish stock
• 3 tbsp. l. sour cream (cream fresh, cream cheese or natural yogurt)
• 3 tbsp. l. lime juice
• 2 tbsp. l. butter
• a small bunch of dill
• sugar
• salt, freshly ground white pepper

Directions

1. Disassemble the lettuce into leaves, remove the bottom white part. Boil water, immerse the leaves in boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Then transfer the lettuce to a blender, add the fish stock and puree.
2. Then add sour cream, lime juice, pepper and beat in a blender again. Taste, salt, pepper and add a pinch of sugar. Transfer to a saucepan and cover.
3. Cut the salmon into small cubes, fry them in butter, 3 minutes, dry lightly on a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
