Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 naan bread
- 2 ounces (56 grams) smoked salmon
- ⅓ cup (79 milliliters) cream cheese
Toppings:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) capers, drained and dried
- Red onion, sliced thinly
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 400°F (200°C) and position a rack in the middle for even heating.
- Place the naan bread directly on the oven rack and crisp for 8-10 minutes until edges become slightly golden and firm.
- Remove naan bread from the oven and allow to cool for 3-4 minutes on a wire cooling rack to prevent sogginess.
- Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, evenly spread a generous layer of cream cheese across the entire surface of the naan bread, ensuring complete coverage.
- Delicately arrange thin slices of smoked salmon over the cream cheese, slightly overlapping for an elegant presentation.
- Sprinkle briny capers across the salmon, distributing them evenly for balanced flavor in each bite.
- Thinly slice red onion and scatter rings or small pieces over the salmon to add a sharp, crisp element.
- Optional: Finely chop fresh parsley and lightly dust over the pizza for a vibrant green garnish and fresh herbal note.
- Using a sharp pizza cutter or knife, slice the naan pizza into wedges for easy serving.
- Serve immediately while the naan is still warm and crisp.
Notes
- Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Remove naan bread from oven carefully to prevent burning or overcrisping.
- Swap smoked salmon for cooked shredded chicken if seafood isn’t preferred.
- Experiment with different cream cheese flavors like herb or jalapeño for extra zest.
- Fresh ingredients like thinly sliced red onion and capers elevate the pizza’s overall taste.
