Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
- Basic pizza dough (store-bought or see the link below)
- 1 red onion, peeled and sliced
- 2 Tbsp. rapeseed or canola oil
- 1 cup lemon-dill pesto
- 1/2 pound (1-2 cups) dill havarti cheese, shredded
- 1/4 pound smoked salmon, pulled into small pieces by hand
- 2 Tbsp. capers
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 450º.
In a large frying pan, sauté sliced red onion in 1 Tbsp. rapeseed or canola oil over medium heat until caramelized to a rich brown color.
Lightly grease a large baking sheet with remaining tablespoon of rapeseed or canola oil. Using store-bought or homemade pizza dough (recipe here), stretch the dough out into the shape of a fish (Note: I twist the tail section over and up again in a complete rotation, as in twisting bread sticks, to provide some definition between the body and tail of the fish).
Spread one cup of lemon-dill pesto (recipe here) evenly over pizza dough. Spread shredded dill havarti over the pesto, then sprinkle evenly with sautéed onion, smoked salmon, and capers.
Bake on center rack of oven until cheese is browned and bubbling, about 20 minutes.
Yield: 10 slices of Scandinavian Fish Pizza.
