Danish style pizza with smoked salmon
Unique Danish pizza recipe with smoked salmon and Danish cheese

Nordic Smoked Salmon Pizza

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
This Scandinavian pizza is built on the principle of 'cold topping, warm crust'. The delicate texture of smoked salmon can't withstand the intense heat of the oven, so it's added afterwards. The buttery creaminess of Danish cheese (like Havarti) and the acidity of crème fraîche provide the perfect bed for the fish.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Tip: A hot oven guarantees a crispy base.
2 ✓

Roll out the dough, spread with crème fraîche, and top with grated cheese and thinly sliced onion.

Tip: The acidity of the crème fraîche cuts through the richness of the cheese (flavor balance).
3 ✓

Bake the pizza until done (approx. 12-15 minutes), until the edges are golden brown.

Tip: We only bake the base, not the salmon!
4 ✓

Remove from the oven and immediately lay the smoked salmon slices on top.

Tip: Salmon proteins are heat sensitive: if baked, it would dry out and taste saltier. The residual heat of the pizza is just enough.
5 ✓

Sprinkle with capers and fresh dill.

Tip: Dill and fish are a classic pairing, and capers add acidity.

Recipe FAQ
