Liz - I neglected to include some instructions for my version of Jansson's Delight - if you add any veggies other than potatoes and onions, you should salt them and lay them on paper towels to let the excess moisture drain out. Also be sure to pat dry all the fish filets. Any added moisture can ruin this casserole.

I used Greek Yogurt instead of regular yogurt because it is more than twice as thick. If you don't have Greek yogurt available, you can approximate it by draining plain yogurt with cheese cloth until it has the thickness of cream cheese.

It might not hurt to add some fresh chopped Dill either.

If I make this again, I may sweat out some thinly sliced fennel to layer with the oinions for some added flavor.

My father gave a me a great idea on how to pull out the little bones in the fish if you don't have a fish bone pliers on hand - he said use a small hemostat from a first aid kit. they can lock in the clamped position and then you can just yank the bones out.

If Silenus Charm is readin - I consider the recipe to have been one of My Santa's gifts to me! It was a huge hit. Many thanks
