You don’t have to travel to the Nordic countries to experience the fantastic flavours the region has to offer; all you need is an Ooni oven and a little guidance from food writer and photographer Guillaume Marinette (guillaume.marinette). For Guillame, the star of this Nordic pizza with salmon, dill and crème fraîche is the fish - specifically Norwegian salmon - which is typically smoked with birchwood after being salted and dried. This process gives the fish a distinct smoky taste and firm texture, perfect for a homemade pizza that works great for any meal, including breakfast!
Smoked salmon is extremely tasty as a pizza topping, but makes an equally delicious side dish, salad topper or sandwich filling. Keep in mind that for pizza it's best to add the salmon after cooking as too much high heat causes the fish to lose its distinct flavour and texture. Add to that fresh dill and rich, tangy crème fraîche and you’ve got yourself an irresistible Nordic pizza.
