Smoked Salmon Pizza
Great for lunch or as a light dinner this truly tasty Smoked Salmon Pizza is a breeze to make! Perfect for busy days and nights!
Ingredients
- Olive Oil, for brushing the bread (optional)
- 2 deli-style pita bread (or naan bread or other flatbread)
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature so it's easy to spread
- ½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 oz sliced smoked salmon, divide into 2
- 2 tbsp capers, drained (divided, 1 tablespoon per pizza or to taste)
- freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Brush a little oil to both or at least one side of the flatbread. This is optional, the bread will still be crispy when you bake it but it won’t become golden brown. Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until crispy and golden brown (if you brush it with oil). Let cool for a couple of minutes.
- While the bread is baking, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Once the bread is cool enough to handle (but still quite warm), spread the sour cream mixture over it.
- Distribute half the onion slices on top of the sour cream mixture. Divide the onion slices between the two pieces of Pita bread.
- Arrange the salmon on top (I use half of the 4 oz package for each pita bread). Sprinkle with more onions, if desired. Distribute the drained capers evenly onto the Pita bread and then sprinkle with freshly ground pepper. Top with some chopped fresh Cilantro.
- Cut the pizza into wedges and enjoy immediately!
Notes
TIPS & TRICKS
Don't fancy pita bread? Use your favorite flatbread or garlic-flavored or plain naan bread!
If you don't like red onions, use the sweeter vidalia onions. If you wish, you can use caramelized onions instead of raw onions. That way there would be a nice sweet and savory contrast of flavors on your pizza bread!
