Deep Dish Cauliflower & Salmon Pizza

This incredibly delicious Deep Dish Cauliflower & Salmon Pizza is one of my favourite savoury recipes; the ‘deep dish’ refers to a bigger crust – and as the crust is made of cauliflower, it means you pack in more veggie intake whilst still getting that yummy pizza flavour!

Cauliflower is an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, pantothenic acid, and vitamin B6. It is a very good source of choline, dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, manganese, phosphorus, and biotin. I used purple cauliflower here but you can obviously use normal white cauliflower.

This pizza is also very low carb, topped with Tassal Salmon for those delicious healthy fats. It’s also a high quality source of protein.

Time: 40 mins

Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive or coconut oil
• 1 brown onion, peeled, chopped
• 1 can chopped tomatoes
• 1/2 bunch fresh basil
• 1 large cauliflower, cleaned, trimmed and cut into florets
• 3 1/2 cups lite mozzarella cheese
• 2 eggs, whisked
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 5 cups spinach
• 200g Tassal Tasmanian Smoked Salmon
• salt

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200 C / 400 F.
2. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes and the basil. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Scoop out the onion and basil and discard them.
3. Rice the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse 10-15 times. (You can also grate the cauliflower florets with a grater, this will just take longer).
4. Cook the cauliflower in the microwave for 5 minutes on high. Squeeze excess water from the cauliflower by pressing between paper towels.
5. Add cauliflower to a large bowl. Add in eggs, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, dried basil, dried oregano, garlic, and red pepper flakes and stir to combine.
6. Pour cauliflower batter into a well-greased spring-foam pan (I used a spring-foam tart pan). Use the back of a spoon to press and smooth the crust into the pan, being sure to push the crust up the sides of the pan to form edges.
7. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown and set. Remove from oven.
8. While the crust bakes, wilt the baby spinach in a pan over medium heat with a little bit of salt.
9. Top the crust with 2 cups mozzarella cheese, spinach, salmon and sauce (add as much sauce as desired).
10. Bake for another 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
11. Let stand 5-10 minutes before slicing.
