The stock - proceed as follows:
Cut the salmon trimmings into small pieces, rinse in cold water, place in a
casserole, cover with cold water and bring it to a boil.
Skim carefully, then add the vegetables and the spices. Let it simmer for 45
min, then strain the stock.
Remove and set aside any salmon meat adhering to the head, tail or bones.

Ingredients for the soup:
1 tsp butter
1 tsp flour
1 l salmon stock
1 dl cream
