Description
Discover a simple smoked salmon pizza recipe topped with creamy crme frache for a gourmet flavor combo Perfect for quick elegant meals
Ingredients
1 ball of pizza dough (about 10–12 inches)
6–8 ounces of smoked salmon
0.5 cup of crème fraîche
2 tablespoons of fresh dill, chopped
0.25 cup of red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon of capers, drained
1 teaspoon of fresh lemon zest
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to help achieve a crisp, golden crust.
- Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 10-12 inches in diameter. Brush the top with olive oil to encourage beautiful browning.
- Carefully transfer the dough to the hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the crust is just beginning to turn golden and crisp but not fully cooked.
- Remove the pizza crust from the oven and let it cool slightly for just a minute or two so your creamy toppings don’t melt away.
- Spread the crème fraîche evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges to maintain crispness.
- Arrange the smoked salmon slices strategically across the pizza—think delicate folds or rosettes for an elegant touch.
- Scatter thinly sliced red onion and capers on top, then sprinkle the chopped dill and fresh lemon zest evenly.
- Finish with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Place the pizza back in the oven for 2-3 minutes just to warm it through gently—avoid cooking too long to keep the salmon tender and the crème fraîche fresh.
- Slice and serve immediately for the best contrast of textures and flavors.
