20-Minute Grilled Pizza with Smoked Salmon and Mixed Greens image

Grilling pizza gives the crust a wonderful char in just a few minutes, without heating up the kitchen. We took our inspiration for the no-cook toppings from our Sunday bagels: A schmear of lemony cream cheese is a natural for the smoked salmon, while cucumbers and radishes add color and crunch.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces whipped cream cheese, at room temperature
Zest and juice of 1 small lemon
1/4 cup fresh dill, roughly chopped, plus more fronds for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound frozen pizza dough, thawed
All-purpose flour, for sprinkling
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
1/2 pound smoked salmon, thinly sliced
1 Persian cucumber, very-thinly sliced
2 radishes, very-thinly sliced
5 ounces mesclun mix

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir together the cream cheese, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, the chopped dill, a large pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper in a small mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • Divide the pizza dough into 2 balls. Sprinkle the flour on a clean flat surface and roll each ball into an elongated crust, approximately 16 inches long and 6 inches wide. Transfer the crusts to the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides of both crusts with 2 tablespoons of the oil and lightly sprinkle with salt.
  • Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the crusts until they start to puff and distinct grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until just cooked through, an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Discard the used parchment paper and put the finished crusts on the baking sheet.
  • Smear each crust with the cream cheese mixture. Shingle the smoked salmon on top making sure that each bite will have a piece of salmon. Scatter the sliced cucumbers and radishes on top of the salmon and garnish with dill fronds.
  • Whisk together the remaining lemon juice, remaining 2 tablespoons oil and a large pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the mesclun mix and toss to combine. Serve the pizzas family-style or cut each pizza in half and serve as individual pizzas for 4 people, with some salad on the side.
