Smoked Salmon Pizza
Smoked Salmon Pizza is a delicious, upscale twist on traditional pizza — instead of tomato sauce and pepperoni, it features smoked salmon as the star ingredient.Here’s what it usually includes:Base: A thin, crispy pizza crust. Sometimes brushed with olive oil or a light cream sauce instead of tomato sauce.Cheese: Often a layer of cream cheese, mascarpone, or crème fraîche is spread over the crust after baking.Toppings: Slices of cold smoked salmon (like lox), red onion, capers, and sometimes dill or chives.Extras: Some versions add arugula, lemon zest, or even a drizzle of olive oil or balsamic reduction for a fresh finish.It’s kind of like a cross between pizza and a classic bagel with lox — rich, smoky, creamy, and tangy all at once.

Ingredients
Base
- 1 ready-made pizza dough or homemade, about 12–14 inches
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Cheese
- ½ cup crème fraîche or softened cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped plus extra for garnish
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 150–200 grams smoked salmon about 5–7 oz, thinly sliced
- ½ small red onion very thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons capers drained
- arugula or baby spinach, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220°C / 425°F. Roll out the pizza dough on parchment paper to your desired thickness and brush lightly with olive oil.
- Place the dough (with parchment) on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove and let it cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, combine the crème fraîche (or cream cheese) with lemon juice, lemon zest, dill, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the cream mixture evenly over the cooled crust. Layer on the smoked salmon slices, red onion, and capers.
- Add some fresh dill and a handful of arugula if you like. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon before serving.
- Cut into wedges and serve immediately — it’s great warm or at room temperature.
