Tips for Making the Best Salmon Pizza:
- Remove the salmon from the heat as soon as it's cooked through in the skillet to prevent overcooking in the oven.
- Spray your baking sheet with non-stick spray so the crust doesn't stick.
- The larger the baking pan, the thinner your crust will be, so bear that in mind when choosing your pan.
FAQ
Salmon pizza is a healthy seafood pizza made with a pre-made pizza crust, salmon chunks, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and green onions.
If you cook the salmon in the skillet for too long, it will get rubbery as it continues to cook while the pizza bakes. To avoid this, cook the salmon until it's opaque throughout, then immediately stop cooking it.
You sure can! And firm fish will work. Cod, halibut, and even catfish are all excellent choices. You can also use shellfish like shrimp, crab, or lobster chunks.
