This pizza was 100% inspired by my trip. Every morning there was an amazing breakfast buffet at our hotel. They had everything from omelets, to oatmeal, to miso soup and rice. I was particularly fond of the lox with sliced tomatoes and scrambled eggs. During our trip we had a rather delicious chicken pizza, yes, CHICKEN pizza, but that is a whole separate discussion altogether.
Back to last night's dinner.
The huz and I usually struggle when it comes to pizza - he wants meat....I don't. One thing we mutually love though is smoked salmon. I thought, "Why don't I make a smoked salmon pizza?" We've been married almost 13 years, and I have no idea why I have not thought of this sooner. It was perfect.
I made a pesto from flat leaf parsley, and topped the pizza with smoked salmon and a light sprinkling of mozzarella cheese. After I removed it from the oven, I topped it with diced red onion (I wanted the crunch and zing to remain in tact, versus cooking the onion on the pizza).

This was hands down the best pizza I have ever made. Ever.

And I won't even tell you about the orange cake we had for dessert.
I digress.
Fueled by inspiration, and a handful of new recipes, I am really looking forward to the week ahead.
