Smoked Salmon Pizza

Darren and I have been eating a lot of fish lately, which has been good for our health, but we wanted to try something a little different than fish, pasta and veggies. So, we thought we would give salmon pizza a try! I based my recipe off of the following: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/smoked-salmon-pizza/detail.aspx.

Ingredients:
Pizza Crust
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
3/4 C. Pizza Sauce
1 C. Smoked Salmon cut into 12 inch pieces
1/3 C. Sliced Sweet Onions
2 Tbsp. Chopped Sun-dried Tomatoes
2 Tsp. Capers

We made our own crust for one of the pizzas using Marsha White Pizza Crust. For the other pizza we cut sun-dried tomato foccacia bread in half to make two round pieces of bread. We used the bottom piece as the second crust.

Directions:
Cook salmon thoroughly in skillet on medium-high for approximately 2-4 minutes on each side. Set aside. While the salmon is cooling, start making the crust (ready-made crust can be used). Prepare crust according to packaged directions.

Slice onion; heat olive oil in skillet on medium-high. Carefully, add onion to skillet. Let cook, occasionally stirring until carmelized.
Once the salmon has cooled, cut 1/2 inch pieces and chop sun-dried tomatoes.

Top the crust with olive oil followed by pizza sauce. Spread shredded mozzarella cheese over top. Continue layering the pizza as follows: add salmon, carmelized onions, capers and sun-dried tomatoes.

Bake directly on oven rack at 350 degrees for approximately 10-14 minutes. While the pizzas are baking, top the other half of the foccacia with butter, garlic and light mozzarella cheese to make bread sticks. Add the garlic-cheese bread to the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 7-8 minutes.

Let pizza and breadsticks cool 2-3 minutes before slicing. Add a side salad, if you wish and enjoy!

Happy cooking from Tara's kitchen!
