3/4 ounce Glace de Fruits de Mer Gold® dissolved in 2 cups hot water
-
2 cups whole milk
-
1 pound boiling potatoes, diced (peeled or unpeeled--your choice)
-

Methods/Steps
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it's translucent, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk and reconstituted Glace de Fruits de Mer Gold®. Bring to a simmer and add the potatoes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 10-12 minutes.
Add the salmon, cream, dill, and lemon juice, stirring to blend, and cook until heated through, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
