Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine salmon, chopped onion, chopped celery, eggs, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, dried dill weed, and pepper.
- Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Pare the potatoes and cut into thin slices.
- Place half of the sliced potatoes in a greased 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and spread half of the salmon mixture over the potatoes.
- Repeat with remaining potatoes, salt, and salmon mixture.
- Bake uncovered in a 350°F oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or chives to the salmon mixture. For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the milk. If you don't have salmon on hand, canned tuna can work as a substitute, but it will change the dish's flavor profile. Make sure to slice the potatoes evenly for uniform cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the strata warm, garnished with fresh herbs for an appealing touch. It pairs beautifully with a side salad for a light meal or with crusty bread for a heartier option. This dish also works well as a brunch item alongside Louise'S Fried Shrimp for a seafood-themed feast.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave or cover the baking dish with foil and warm in a 350°F oven until heated through. This dish can also be enjoyed cold for a refreshing twist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh salmon instead of canned?
Yes, fresh salmon can be used instead of canned. Simply cook it first, flake it into pieces, and mix it into the recipe. Adjust the baking time as needed, since fresh salmon may require less time to cook through.
How can I make this dish more spicy?
To add some heat, consider mixing in a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes into the salmon mixture. You could also serve it with a spicy remoulade or hot sauce on the side for those who prefer extra kick.
Can I prepare this dish in advance?
Absolutely! You can assemble the strata the night before, cover it tightly, and refrigerate. Just increase the baking time slightly if it goes into the oven cold. This makes it a great option for meal prep or entertaining.
