Salmon Tortilla Pizza (Printer-Friendly)
Crispy tortilla pizzas loaded with flaked salmon, capers, and melted mozzarella for a quick meal.
# What You'll Need:
→ Base
01 - 2 large flour tortillas
→ Sauce
02 - 3 tbsp crème fraîche or sour cream
03 - 1 tsp lemon juice
04 - 1 tsp fresh dill, chopped
05 - Salt and black pepper to taste
→ Toppings
06 - 1 cup leftover cooked salmon, flaked
07 - 1/3 cup red onion, thinly sliced
08 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
09 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
10 - 2 tbsp capers, drained
→ Garnish
11 - 1 tbsp fresh chives or dill, chopped
12 - Lemon wedges (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the flour tortillas flat on the sheet.
02 - In a small bowl, combine crème fraîche, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and spread an even layer over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
03 - Distribute the flaked salmon evenly across both tortillas. Layer with red onion slices, halved cherry tomatoes, and shredded mozzarella. Scatter drained capers over the top.
04 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tortilla edges are crisp and the mozzarella is melted with a golden finish.
05 - Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chives or dill. Serve with lemon wedges on the side. Slice and enjoy immediately while crisp.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It turns plain leftover salmon into something that feels planned and special without any real effort.
- The crisper tortilla base beats regular pizza dough when you want results fast and cleanup to be almost nothing.
02 -
- Do not skip the parchment paper because melted cheese directly on the baking sheet creates a stubborn mess you will regret later.
- Leftover salmon that has been refrigerated overnight actually works better than fresh because the flavors concentrate and the texture firms up for easier flaking.
03 -
- Flake the salmon into uneven pieces because variety in size makes every bite a little different and keeps things interesting.
- Drain the capers on a paper towel for a minute before sprinkling so they do not add excess moisture to the pizza surface.
