This is inspired by Wolfgang Puck’s signature smoked salmon pizza, and it’s a great way to work more salmon, rich in omega-3 fats, into your diet. The trick here is to bake the lavash just until the edges are crisp, but not so long that it’s too crisp all the way through to cut easily.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the lavash on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, just until the edges are crisp and browned. Remove from the heat, brush with the oil and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Mix together the yogurt, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon dill or chives. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread over the lavash in a thin layer. Top with overlapping slices of smoked salmon. Sprinkle the salmon with chives, grind on some pepper and serve.

Tip
  • Advance preparation: You can bake the lavash and prepare the yogurt mixture several hours before you assemble the pizza.

Having no plain yogurt, I used creme fraiche. This way to serve smoked salmon is delicious and very quick and efficient as an hors d'oeuvre for many people. Most prep can be done ahead (don't forget to oil the warm lavash!) and the final step before serving in small wedges is quick.

Delicious! Added cucumbers, capers and much more dill. Fulfills a bagel and lox hankering, but it’s extremely healthy.

Liv

Modified by blending feta crumbles into the yogurt, and added cucumbers. Delish!

Joyce

We love this but do put all ingredients on the lavash and then bake for about 10 minutes. Used Boursin cheese for the spread rather than the yogurt. Two lavash pieces make a great dinner for two people, one each.

I can’t find the Lavash used in this recipe. Do you know of any sources in the Chicago area?

Rica

Trader Joes sells Lavash.

Linda

Any Middle Eastern grocery or bakery. Lavash freezes well.
