How to Make Spicy Salmon Pizza?

  • Salmon: Combine the salmon, mayo, sriracha, half of the scallions, sesame oil, and soy sauce in a medium bowl.
  • Avocado: Mash the avocado and season it with a pinch of salt.
  • Tortilla Crust: To make the tortillas crisp, air fry or bake them before topping them with the sushi. Air fry the tortillas one at a time at 400°F for 60 to 90 seconds on each side. I place a rack on them so they don’t blow around. To bake them, preheat the oven to 425°F and bake on a sheet pan for five to six minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Sushi Pizza Toppings: Put half of the avocado and salmon on each tortilla. Top with the jalapeños, remaining scallions, and sesame seeds. Drizzle with more soy sauce, sriracha, or spicy mayo.

How to Store Sushi Pizza

Sushi-grade salmon is best eaten the day it’s purchased, and this pizza won’t really hold in the fridge. I recommend only making as much as you are going to eat at one time. The recipe is easy to double or triple if you’re feeding more people.

Variations:

  • Swap the salmon with sushi-grade tuna.
  • Don’t like raw fish? Use cooked salmon instead.
  • Make a crispy rice crust: Press cooked brown rice into a small round air fryer pizza dish, and air fry it at 400°F for 5 minutes on each side.
  • Spiciness: If you aren’t a fan of spicy sushi, omit or reduce the amount of sriracha and cut the seeds and ribs out of the jalapeño.
  • Substitute sesame seeds with furikake seasoning.

Description

A bold take on a classic pizza, the "Bold Spicy Salmon Pizza" combines rich, juicy salmon with a fiery sauce. it starts with a golden, crispy crust, then a coating of hot tomato sauce, and finally a layer of melting, gooey cheese. Every taste of flakes of salmon is enhanced with a flavorful depth of spices blends in. Adding some heat from sliced jalapeños or chili flakes and finishing with fresh herbs like basil or dill gives the pizza an even more heightened flavor. The meal is finished with a dash of lemon zest, which adds a zesty, crisp note that balances the salmon's deep richness.

Note

Use fresh, high-quality salmon to ensure a flavorful and tender topping for the best results. If you prefer a milder spice level, adjust the chili flakes or hot sauce to taste. Preheat your oven thoroughly to achieve a crispy crust. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions before serving. Enjoy the fusion of sushi and pizza with pickled ginger and soy sauce for an authentic touch!

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Can I use frozen salmon for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen salmon. Just be sure to thaw it completely and pat it dry before using to ensure the pizza doesn’t get soggy.

What type of rice should I use for the crust?

How can I make the pizza spicier?

To increase the spiciness, add more chili flakes, hot sauce, or even a spicy mayo drizzle on top. Adjust according to your heat preference.

Can I substitute the salmon with another type of fish?

Yes, you can substitute salmon with other types of fish like tuna or even cooked shrimp if you prefer. Adjust cooking times as needed.
