# Ingredient List:
→ Base
01 - 2 large flour tortillas
→ Sauce
02 - 3 tablespoons crème fraîche or sour cream
03 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
04 - 1 teaspoon 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 tablespoons capers, drained
→ Garnish
11 - 1 tablespoon 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 mixing bowl, combine the crème fraîche, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended. Spread the mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
03 - Distribute the flaked salmon evenly across both tortillas. Layer on the sliced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and shredded mozzarella. Scatter the drained capers over the top.
04 - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tortillas are crisp and the cheese has melted and turned lightly golden.
05 - Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped chives or dill. Serve with lemon wedges on the side if desired. Slice each tortilla pizza into quarters and serve immediately while hot and crisp.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- It turns sad leftover salmon into something you would actually serve to friends without apologizing.
- The tortilla base gets shockingly crispy in the oven, rivaling any thin crust pizza you have had.
02 -
- Do not overload the tortilla with toppings or the center will stay soft and soggy instead of crisping up.
- If your leftover salmon is cold from the fridge, let it sit out for ten minutes before assembling so it does not drop the oven temperature indirectly.
03 -
- Check your tortillas for small tears before assembling because sauce will leak through and cause sticking.
- Baking the pizzas on the lower third of the oven gets the tortilla base crispier faster without burning the cheese on top.
