Instructions
Heat the olive oil and butter in a medium-sized pot over medium heat until the butter is melted and sizzling.
Add the chopped shallot, garlic, and celery. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Pour in the white wine and cook for 2-3 minutes to let the alcohol evaporate, stirring occasionally.
Add the fish stock and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer on low heat for another 5 minutes.
Gently add the salmon pieces, shrimp, and mussels to the pot. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is fully cooked and the mussels have opened (discard any unopened mussels).
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir in the chopped parsley and dill.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers on the side for dipping.
Garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh parsley or dill for an added touch of elegance.
