Ingredients:

• 3 to 4 ounces smoked salmon
• Pizza dough, premade or the recipe of your preference.
• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• ½ medium red onion, julienned
• ¼ bunch fresh dill, minced, plus 4 small sprigs, for garnish
• ⅓ cup sour cream or crème fraiche
• Freshly ground pepper
• 4 heaping tablespoons domestic golden (whitefish) caviar
• 1 heaping teaspoon black caviar

Preparation:

1. Before you are ready to bake the pizzas, preheat the oven with a pizza stone inside for 30 minutes to 500 degrees F.
2. Cut the salmon into paper-thin slices. Reserve.
3. Roll or stretch the dough into 4 (8-inch) circles. Place the pizzas on a lightly floured wooden peel. Brush the center of each pizza to within 1 inch of the edge with olive oil and sprinkle it with some of the red onion.

6. Divide the salmon, and arrange decoratively over the cream. Place a spoonful of golden caviar in the center of each pizza, then spoon a little of the black caviar into the center of the golden caviar.
