Fish soup made from salmon heads

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook fish soup from salmon heads? Prepare the necessary ingredients. There is not much meat in the head of the fish, so usually fish tails are also added to the fish soup. However, all the rich taste of the fish soup is concentrated in the broth and the head of the fish copes with this quite well. In addition to salmon, you can use the head of any red fish.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the fish heads thoroughly, remove the gills, cut off the fins. There should be no small parts or blood clots left in the head, because this can greatly affect the transparency of the broth.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the fish heads, a whole peeled onion, and allspice peas into the pan.

4. STEP 4

   

   Fill everything with cold water and place on low heat.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the carrots, wash and cut into small cubes or grate on a coarse grater.

6. STEP 6

   

   Peel the potatoes and cut into medium cubes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Simmer the broth brought to a boil over low heat for about 40 minutes, periodically skimming off any foam that is released from the surface. Once cooking is complete, remove the onion and discard.

8. STEP 8

   

   Remove the fish heads from the broth and separate the meat from the bones.

9. STEP 9

   

   Strain the broth and return to the heat. Bring the broth back to a boil.

10. STEP 10

    

    Add potatoes and carrots to the broth and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

11. STEP 11

    

    Add fish and bay leaf. Add salt to taste. If desired, you can add 1-2 tbsp. l. vodka to make the broth even clearer. Cook the fish soup for about 10 more minutes. If you wish, you can add a small piece of butter to the pan at the end, but it seemed to me that the soup was already quite greasy.

12. STEP 12

    

    After the cooking time has passed, turn off the heat, cover the pan with a lid and let the fish soup brew for about 10-15 minutes.

13. STEP 13

    

    Pour the fish soup into bowls and serve. Bon appetit!

I decided to have a fish day. After frying, the head and tail of the pink salmon remained, and a small part of the backbone was left from the salting of the salmon. It was on this basis that we got a delicious rich fish soup recipe, fish soup made from salmon heads. For the first time, on the advice of the author, I added sweet peas when cooking fish, and I liked the new aroma of the broth and the taste of the fish. Carrots add brightness to the ear. Green onions and dill added to the plates remind of summer.

Today I came across a recipe for salmon soup soup. The author writes that you can use any red fish. I remembered that I still had the head, spine and tail from the pink salmon, so I decided to use them and make soup. After the cooking time had passed, I added a small piece of butter to the pan and let the soup simmer. When serving, sprinkle with parsley. The soup turned out very tasty! This is an easy-to-prepare and at the same time wonderful dish with a rich fishy taste, a refreshing bouquet of vegetables and aromatic spices, which will certainly delight you with its taste! My family really liked the soup! Thanks for the recipe!
