# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, leek, and carrot. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until vegetables are slightly softened.
02 - Add potatoes, bay leaf, and fish stock to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until potatoes are almost tender.
03 - Gently add salmon cubes to the pot. Simmer for 5 to 6 minutes until salmon is just cooked through, being careful not to break apart the fish.
04 - Stir in heavy cream and chopped dill. Season with salt and white pepper. Simmer for 2 to 3 more minutes without allowing the soup to boil.
05 - Remove from heat and discard bay leaf. Ladle soup into serving bowls and garnish with reserved fresh dill.
