Step 1
In a large pot, melt the 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add the 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
Pour in the 4 cups broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Cut the 1 lb salmon into bite-sized pieces and add to the pot. Cook until salmon is opaque and flakes easily, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the 1 cup heavy cream and 0.25 cup chopped dill. Heat through for 2 minutes, but do not boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Serve hot, garnished with extra dill if desired.
