This year we are trying to incorporate more fish into our dinners and this Smoked Whitefish Strata with Lemon Dill Hollandaise is a hit. It’s a great way to sneak some fish in being that it’s made into a strata, has cream cheese and croissants! Then to top it off it’s served with a delicious lemon dill hollandaise sauce. The combination of flavors go together perfectly and it’s simple to make. You can prepare this ahead of time, toss it in the fridge (even overnight) and then cook whenever you’re ready. This is a perfect recipe for holiday mornings or brunch!
