Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Roll out 250 grams pizza dough on a floured surface into a 10-inch circle and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Brush the dough lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle 100 grams shredded mozzarella evenly over the surface.
  3. Step 3: Bake the pizza crust with cheese for 7 minutes until the edges start to turn golden.
  4. Step 4: While the pizza bakes, season 150 grams salmon fillet with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Step 5: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4 minutes until crisp, then flip and cook 2 more minutes until just cooked through. Remove and let rest.
  6. Step 6: In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill and 1 teaspoon lemon juice to make the creamy dill sauce.
  7. Step 7: Remove pizza from oven, flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces and scatter over the pizza. Return to oven for 2-3 minutes to warm the salmon through.
  8. Step 8: Remove pizza from oven, top with 1 cup fresh baby arugula and drizzle the creamy dill sauce over the top. Slice and serve immediately.
