Scandinavian Fish Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• If making your own dough, here's an easy recipe: In large bowl add water, yeast, and salt. Stir until dissolved. Stir in olive oil. Mix in flour.
• Turn dough out on floured board and knead for about 5 minutes.
• Grease inside of medium bowl. Place dough in bowl and flip dough over so that the dough top is also greased. Cover and let rise in warm place until double in size.
• Punch down dough and turn out onto lightly floured board. Knead out bubbles. The dough is now ready to be made into pizza.
• Make the pesto: Place walnuts and garlic in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Add fresh dill, lemon zest, and salt; process into a thick paste. Continue to process (using "pulse" feature if available), gradually pouring in canola oil until pesto is the consistency of a thick tomato sauce. Refrigerate until use.
• In a large frying pan, sauté sliced red onion in 1 tablespoons canola oil over medium heat until caramelized to a rich brown color. Lightly grease a large baking sheet with remaining tablespoon of rapeseed or canola oil. Using store-bought or homemade pizza dough, stretch the dough out into the shape of a fish (Note: I twist the tail section over and up again in a complete rotation, as in twisting bread sticks, to provide some definition between the body and tail of the fish).
• Spread one cup of lemon-dill pesto (recipe here) evenly over pizza dough. Spread shredded dill havarti over the pesto, then sprinkle evenly with sautéed onion, smoked salmon, and capers.
• Bake on center rack of oven until cheese is browned and bubbling, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Put the water, yeast, and salt into a large bowl. Stir until yeast is dissolved.
• Stir in olive oil.
• Slowly mix in the flour until a dough is formed. Knead in a stand mixer or turn out and knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes.
• Place the dough into a greased bowl, then roll the dough so the entire dough ball is coated with oil. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch down dough and knead out bubbles. Divide the dough into thirds. You will only need 1/3 of the dough for this recipe. You may reserve the extra for another time or double/triple the topping recipe to make extra pizza.
• Preheat oven to 450°F
• In a large frying pan, sauté the onion with 1 tbsp oil until caramelized and a rich golden brown.
• Grease a large baking sheet with the remaining oil. Form the dough into a fish shape if desired. To give the tail more definition, you may want to twist the tail section (like a pretzel).
• Spread the lemon-dill pesto evenly over the dough, leaving the edge bare for the crust.
• Spoon the shredded dill havarti over the pesto, then evenly sprinkle the onion, salmon, and capers over the pesto and cheese.
• Bake in center rack of oven until cheese is browned and bubbling, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a nonstick pan.
• Add fish and top with lemon juice, cajun and old bay seasoning, and salt. Cook until both sides are well cooked.
• Break up fish into bite size chunks.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Stretch out pizza dough on a cookie sheet that has no long sides and has been lined with non stick foil.
• Top dough with salsa, cheese, and fish.
• Cook for 10 minute and then slide pizza onto the oven rack and cook for another 5 minute.
• Remove from oven and top with desired toppings.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in water and oil until combined. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Gently form into a ball. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Divide dough in half. On parchment, roll each half into a 10-in. circle. Transfer (leaving dough on parchment) to a 12-in. pizza pan. , Preheat oven to 425°. Combine sauce ingredients; spread over pizzas. Top with pepperoni, green pepper, onion and cheese. If desired, sprinkle with additional dried basil and oregano. Bake on a low oven rack, one at a time, until bottom of crust is golden and cheese is lightly browned, 15-20 minutes. Cut into squares.

Steps:

• Spread soup evenly on crust.
• Top with remaining ingredients ending with the cheese.
• Bake in 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
