Smoked Salmon and Avocado Pizza
Description
The pizza preparation begins by mixing cream cheese with fresh dill and crushed garlic to create a flavorful spread. This is applied to the pizza base, which is then drizzled with garlic-infused olive oil. Thinly sliced red onions and mozzarella cheese are layered on top and baked at 200℃ (390℉) for about 10 minutes until the cheese melts and the crust crisps slightly.
Once baked, the pizza is topped with chilled smoked salmon slices, thin avocado slices, and fresh baby rocket leaves. Lemon pepper seasoning adds brightness, and an optional extra sprinkle of mozzarella can be added and baked briefly to warm the toppings slightly. This method preserves the delicate textures and flavors of salmon and avocado without overcooking them.
This pizza offers a fresh alternative to traditional tomato-based pies, suitable as a light meal or appetizer. The recipe notes that the nutrition information is calculated per slice based on six slices, useful for portion control or dietary considerations.
