Pizza is one of the most popular dishes worldwide, originating from Italy, specifically from Naples. Over the years, this dish has adopted multiple variants in different countries, especially in Latin America, where each country has given it its own touch according to its local ingredients and culinary preferences.
In countries like Mexico and Argentina, pizza remains a highly valued dish and is usually found under the same name, although in some places it is called "Argentine pizza" when it includes typical ingredients from that region. In other Latin American countries, it is simply known as pizza, but the variety of ingredients can change drastically, incorporating local products such as fresh cheeses, different types of meats, or fish.
The combination of ingredients like smoked salmon and brie cheese on pizza represents a contemporary fusion that mixes Italian tradition with sophisticated and fresh flavors, highly valued in gourmet cuisine. This pizza is a perfect example of how gastronomy evolves and adapts, maintaining the essence of a crispy crust and melted cheeses, but with select ingredients that provide a unique and delicate flavor.
How to Make Smoked Salmon and Brie Pizza
To prepare the brie, discard the rind and cut the cheese into small pieces.
Cut the onion very thin and divide the slices into quarters.
Separate the onion pieces.
Cut the salmon into small pieces.
Prepare the dough and preheat the oven according to the instructions of the basic recipe.
Shape the pizza dough.
Divide the dough and form small crusts, about 7 to 10 centimeters in diameter.
Prick the dough all over the surface with the tines of a fork, then brush with olive oil.
Transfer the crusts to the preheated baking surface and bake until the crust begins to brown, approximately 6 minutes.
Remove from the oven and top with the cheese, leaving a border of approximately 1.25 centimeters around.
Distribute the salmon and onion on top and drizzle evenly with olive oil.
Return to the oven and bake until the crust is golden and puffy, the cheese begins to melt, and the salmon is very hot, approximately 4 minutes.
Remove from the oven to a tray or cutting board and lightly brush the crust with olive oil.
Garnish with the dill.
Cut into slices and serve immediately.
