Begin by preparing all the ingredients: dice the potatoes, carrot, celery, and onion, and mince the garlic. Cut the salmon into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once melted, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
Add the diced potatoes, carrot, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes to soften the vegetables slightly.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Gently add the cubed salmon to the pot. Let the salmon cook in the simmering soup for 5-7 minutes, or until it is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
Stir in the heavy cream, mixing until the soup is creamy and well combined. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Remove the pot from heat and garnish the soup with freshly chopped dill.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish.
