Serves: 4–8
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 large uncooked pizza crust (homemade or from your local pizza shop)
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
- ½ cup (120ml) sour cream cucumber sauce (tzatziki-style), divided
- ¼ of a salmon loaf (see note below), broken into pieces
- ¼ cup (about 60g) capers, drained
- ½ cup (75g) feta cheese, crumbled
- Fresh dill, chopped (for sprinkling and garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C / Gas 10) — the hotter, the better for a crisp crust.
- Prepare the dough: Roll or press the pizza dough onto a pizza pan or baking sheet. Brush evenly with the olive oil.
- Add the base: Spread half of the sour cream cucumber sauce over the oiled dough.
- Top generously: Distribute the broken pieces of salmon loaf evenly. Scatter the capers, crumbled feta, and most of the chopped dill on top. Reserve some dill for finishing.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp.
- Finish & Serve: Remove from the oven. Drizzle with the remaining sour cream cucumber sauce and sprinkle with extra fresh dill. Slice and enjoy immediately!
