🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Roast Carrots
Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F. Peel or scrub carrots, cut into chunks. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt & pepper. Roast 20–25 min until tender and slightly caramelized.
2️⃣ Start Soup Base
Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil or butter in a large pot. Sauté onion (if using) until translucent (3–5 min). Add ginger, cook 1 more min.
3️⃣ Simmer Soup
Add roasted carrots to the pot. Pour in vegetable broth. Bring to boil, then lower heat, cover, and simmer 10–15 min.
4️⃣ Sear the Salmon
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick pan. Season salmon with salt & pepper. Sear 3–5 min per side until golden and cooked through. It should flake easily.
5️⃣ Blend & Season
Add chopped coriander (reserve some for garnish). Blend the soup until smooth with immersion or standard blender. Season to taste.
6️⃣ Add Spinach & Serve
Stir spinach into hot soup to wilt. Pour into bowls. Top each with salmon, a spoon of sour cream (if using), herbs, and a lemon wedge. Serve warm!
