Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a cup of shredded cheese to the salmon mixture. You can also substitute fresh dill for dried if available, or use cooked and flaked canned tuna instead of salmon for a different flavor. Additionally, feel free to incorporate some chopped spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrition. This dish can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge until ready to bake.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the salmon potato strata warm, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives. It pairs beautifully with a light salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. This dish is also great for brunch, alongside sides like Macaroni Salad With Shrimp or a fruit platter. For a heartier option, consider offering a side of crusty bread.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh salmon instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh cooked salmon instead of canned. Just make sure to flake it into small pieces and adjust the cooking time, as fresh salmon may require a bit longer to fully combine with the other ingredients in the strata.
Can I freeze the salmon potato strata?
Yes, you can freeze the assembled but unbaked strata. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before freezing. When ready to bake, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then bake as directed. Note that the texture may slightly change upon freezing.
What can I substitute for low-fat milk?
You can substitute low-fat milk with almond milk or any other non-dairy milk for a lactose-free option. If you prefer a richer flavor, whole milk or cream can be used instead, but keep in mind it will increase the calorie content.
