Warm the milk and slowly mix in most of the grated cheese (keep enough to garnish.)
until it is al mixed in and a smooth sauce is created.
Pour
the sauce over the fish and warm this in a pre-heated oven (300 F).
Garnish the dish with the remainder of the cheese and the dill or

Panfried potatoes are the typical Dutch side dish.
Boil the potatoes, cool them in the refrigerator. Slice them and fry them in vegetable oil. Serve with the bacon.
