Salmon Tortilla Pizza (Printable Version)

Crispy tortillas loaded with flaked salmon, capers, and melted mozzarella for a quick fusion meal.

# What You 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)

# Directions:

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, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended.
03 - Spread the sauce mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Scatter the flaked salmon over the sauce, then layer with red onion slices, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded mozzarella, and drained capers.
04 - Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tortillas are crisp and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
05 - Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped chives or dill. Serve with lemon wedges on the side. Slice and enjoy immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes longer to decide what to order than to actually make this, and tastes better than most delivery.
  • The crème fraîche base with lemon and dill makes the salmon taste intentionally paired, not just repurposed.
02 -
  • Do not overload the tortilla with sauce or it will steam instead of crisp, leaving you with a soggy center.
  • Leftover salmon already has concentrated flavor, so you need less seasoning than you might expect.
03 -
  • Check your tortillas for cracks before assembling, because a split one will fold and trap steam in all the wrong places.
  • Let the baked pizzas rest for one minute before slicing so the cheese sets slightly and the toppings stay put.
