Recipe instructions

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 3

Step 3
Place the fish heads, a whole peeled onion, and allspice peas into the pan.

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

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 13

Step 13
Pour the fish soup into plates and serve. Bon appetit!
