Smoked Salmon Pizza

Wolfgang Puck inspired this pizza quite a few years ago and it is a delicious appetizer or could be the main dish served with a great salad.  To really take it over the top, you could sprinkle caviar over the top of the pizza before you serve it.  Trader Joe’s has a good pizza dough in the refrigerator section (or you could buy some from your favorite pizza place if you don’t want to make the dough yourself) and I also buy the smoked salmon or gravlax and crème fraiche there.  When I am making this for appetizers, I form the dough into a rectangle and cut them into squares which is easier to serve.  Thinly slice some onion and scatter it over the top of the dough and rub olive oil all over before you bake it.  When it has cooled a few minutes, spread the crème fraiche all over and lay the smoked salmon or gravlax over and garnish with some lemon zest and fresh dill.  It’s best to make this right before you serve it because the crème fraiche can make the dough soggy after a while.  Click here for the recipe….
