A quick and easy smoked salmon cream cheese pizza with fresh dill that offers a creamy, smoky, and herby flavor perfect for brunch or a light dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made thin pizza crust (10–12 inches) or homemade
  • 6 oz (170 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 4 oz (115 g) smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • Zest of 1 small lemon
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained (optional)
  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats for about 15 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped fresh dill, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and evenly blended. Add a pinch of black pepper if desired.
  3. If using a pre-made crust, lightly brush it with olive oil to prevent sogginess. For homemade dough, roll out to 10-12 inches diameter aiming for a thin base.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Arrange thinly sliced smoked salmon evenly over the cream cheese layer. Scatter red onion slices and drained capers on top, balancing the toppings.
  6. Bake the pizza on the hot pizza stone or baking sheet for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust edges turn golden and crisp. Watch closely around 8 minutes to avoid burning.
  7. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle extra fresh dill and a light grind of black pepper on top.
  8. Slice the pizza into 6-8 pieces using a sharp serrated knife or pizza cutter. Serve immediately.

Notes

Preheat the oven and pizza stone fully to ensure a crispy crust. Soften cream cheese before spreading for smooth texture. Use thin slices of smoked salmon to maintain balance. Avoid overloading toppings to keep flavors harmonious. For gluten-free, use gluten-free crust; for vegan, substitute smoked salmon and cream cheese with plant-based alternatives.
