Instructions

Preheat oven to 250°C (top and bottom heat).

If necessary, roll out the tarte flambée dough thinly and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the dough evenly with cream cheese and then bake in the oven at 250°C for 10 minutes until crispy.

After baking, spread small mounds of pesto over the tarte flambée (you can spread it out a bit) and arrange the salmon on top. Scatter arugula over the tarte flambée and serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dough Perfection 🥖
Roll out the tarte flambée dough ultra-thin, almost translucent, to ensure a crispy base that doesn't become soggy from the cream cheese and salmon.
Pesto Pro Tip 🌿
Drizzle the green pesto sparingly in thin streams to prevent overwhelming the delicate salmon and arugula flavors, creating a balanced taste profile.
Salmon Placement Technique 🐟
Layer thin, delicate slices of smoked salmon after baking to prevent overcooking and preserve its silky texture and rich flavor.
Arugula Freshness Hack 🥗
Add fresh arugula immediately after removing from the oven to maintain its peppery crispness and prevent wilting from residual heat.
Cream Base Magic 🧀
Mix cream cheese or crème fraîche with a touch of lemon zest to brighten the base and complement the smoky salmon.
