Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 filets (around 6 oz each) salmon fillet
- 1 pound store-bought pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup Caesar salad dressing
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups (chopped) romaine lettuce
- 0.5 cup (halved) cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh basil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden and just cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
On a floured surface, divide the pizza dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a 6-inch diameter circle.
Brush each circle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing over each pizza dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over each pizza base.
Flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces and distribute over the pizzas.
Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
While the pizzas are baking, toss the chopped romaine lettuce and halved cherry tomatoes in a bowl with lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and the remaining Caesar dressing.
Once the pizzas are done, remove them from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Top with the dressed romaine and tomato mixture.
Sprinkle each pizza with Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped basil.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Caesar Salmon Pizzas!
