    What is Flatbread?

    Flatbread is a bread made with flour and salt along with water, milk, yogurt, or other liquid. It is then rolled into flattened dough. Many flatbreads are unleavened, although some are leavened, such as pizza and pita bread.

    Flatbreads range from below one millimeter to a few centimeters thick, so that they can be easily eaten without being sliced. Pizza flatbreads, pita bread, even naan bread makes an excellent base for any kind of pizza you have in mind.

    Ingredients for Smoked Salmon Flatbread

    • Store bought flatbread
    • Cold smoked salmon
    • Cream cheese
    • Fresh Dill
    • Tomatoes
    • Capers
    • Arugula
    • Lemon Juice

    What’s the difference between cold smoked and hot smoked salmon?

    Cold smoked salmon is first dry-cured in salt, then smoked below 90 degrees fahrenheit. The temperature is low enough that the fish doesn’t actually cook, so it has a smooth, silky texture.

    Hot smoked salmon is wet brined, then smoked above 120 degrees. It has a flaky texture similar to baked salmon, and has a smokier flavor.

    Today we are using cold smoked wild nova salmon, as its vibrant red color caught our eye.

    How to make Smoked Salmon Flatbread

    This really couldn’t get much easier…

    Bake your flatbread according to the directions on the package. Ours called for 4-6 minutes at 400 degrees.

    While the oven is preheating and the flatbread baking, mix the chopped dill into the cream cheese. We allowed the cream cheese to warm on the counter for 30 minutes, to make it softer and easier to spread.

    Once the flatbread is cooked, simply spread the cream cheese all over and arrange your salmon, sliced tomatoes, capers and arugula on top. Give it all a squeeze of lemon juice and serve.

    Variations

    • Try adding some provolone or mozzarella cheese to the flatbread before baking.
    • Instead of dill, mix sriracha, chopped chipotle peppers, or even pesto sauce into the cream cheese.
    • Replace the cream cheese altogether with goat cheese.
    • Some diced avocado or cucumber slices would go great here.
