2 tablespoons fresh dill leaves, chopped or snipped

1/3 pound Nova Scotia smoked salmon, thinly sliced

1/4 English cucumber, thinly sliced

3 tablespoons capers, drained

Directions

  3. While pizza crust is in oven, mix sour cream with lemon juice and dill in a small bowl.
  4. Remove pizza shell from oven and let stand until cool to the touch. You have a pocket of time here to work on other recipes.

  6. Top pizza with sliced cucumber, red onion, and capers.

Cooker&Looker

This was a huge hit, with adults AND kids, but heres how I doctored it. To sour cream mixture I whipped in 1 Tbs of cream cheese and granulated garlic with other ingredients. I brushed crust with lemon infused olive oil and baked it for 7-10 min. Once cooled, I spread the sour cream mixture then topped it with pieces of left over cooked salmon from prev nights dinner that was previously marinated in teriyaki. I spread capers and sliced onions (as per recipe), then topped the entire thing with grated Havarti cheese. (I wouldnt have used goat cheese but my husband doesnt like it). Then I sprinkled it with fresh dill from my organic garden. OMG it was so delicious, it was gone in a flash! I gave 5 stars cuz mine was to die for. I imagine it is also good if you follow the recipe, but I use recipes only as a guide, and then do my own creative additions.<br /><br />Read more at: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/smoked-salmon-pizza-recipe/reviews/index.html?oc=linkback
