Smoked Salmon and Arugula Pizza
Smoked Salmon is smoky, rich and savory where arugula is fresh and herby, a contrast that keeps every bite interesting.
Silky cold-smoked salmon adds a luxurious, briny elegance to pizza with its distinctive smoky flavor. Peppery, crisp arugula adds a fresh, vibrant bite as a post-bake pizza topping. On a White Garlic-Parmesan Cream Sauce base, the sauce's roasted garlic and nutty character ties the two together.
