Cut salmon fillet into large pieces (6 might be nice if you're going to serve the soup for 6 persons). Set aside.
After 10 minutes, add the cod to the root vegetable broth, bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes at a medium boil. Don't forget to remove froth when necessary.
In the meantime, cut the potatoes in cubes . After 10 minutes or when the cod is ready, transfer the fish into a bowl and leave to cool.
Remove all vegetables and spices from the broth, you will not need them anymore. Put the broth through a fine sieve to filter out any bits of fish or vegetables, and return it to the saucepan. Add potatoes, bring to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the salmon and cook for 10 minutes or until the salmon is ready. In the meantime, remove skin and bones from the cooked cod and divide it into large pieces.
