1. 1Step 1: Make the broth (optional): In a pressure cooker, combine all broth ingredients and cook for 30 minutes. Alternatively, simmer in a pot on the stove for 1 hour. Strain the liquid, discard the solids, and reserve any meat from the salmon head.
2. 2Step 2: Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add green onions (or leeks), garlic, salt, and pepper. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
3. 3Step 3: Cook the vegetables: Add carrots and potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to lightly soften and develop flavor.
4. 4Step 4: Simmer: Pour in the broth and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
5. 5Step 5: Finish the soup: Add coconut milk, raw salmon chunks, dill, lemon juice, and any reserved salmon meat. Simmer gently for 3 minutes, just until the salmon is cooked through. Do not overcook as the salmon will keep cooking in the residual heat.
