Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make your Smoked Salmon Pizza:

  • 1 pre-made pizza dough or crust (about 12 inches)

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 2 tablespoons sour cream or crème fraîche

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 4 oz smoked salmon, thinly sliced

  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained

  • Olive oil, for drizzling

  • Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

  2. Prepare the Dough: If using fresh pizza dough, stretch or roll it out to a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. If using a pre-made crust, place it on a baking sheet or pizza stone.

  3. Dock the Dough (Optional): If using fresh dough, dock it with a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much during baking.

Prepare the Cream Cheese Base:

  1. Mix the Cream Cheese: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream (or crème fraîche), lemon juice, and minced garlic. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

  2. Spread the Mixture: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the pizza dough or crust, leaving a small border around the edge.

Bake the Pizza:

  1. Bake the Crust: Bake the pizza crust for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cream cheese mixture is slightly bubbly.

Add the Toppings:

  1. Add Smoked Salmon: Remove the pizza from the oven and arrange the smoked salmon slices evenly over the cream cheese base.

  2. Add Red Onion and Capers: Sprinkle the thinly sliced red onion and drained capers over the pizza.

  3. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the pizza.

Garnish and Serve:

  1. Garnish with Dill: Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill over the pizza.

  2. Slice and Serve: Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately.

  3. Serve with Lemon Wedges (Optional): Serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor, if desired.
