Discovering the Flavors
Tarte Flambée is all about simplicity and flavor. It starts with a basic dough made from flour, water, salt, and olive oil. While the dough rests, I prepare the toppings – creamy crème fraîche, smoked salmon, tangy capers, fresh dill, zesty lemon slices, and red onion for a bit of crunch. Each ingredient adds its own unique touch, creating a delicious blend of flavors that’s hard to resist.
A Healthy Twist
But is it healthy, you might wonder? Absolutely! Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, great for your heart and brain health. Capers are packed with antioxidants, while fresh dill adds a burst of vitamins and minerals. Plus, with its thin crust, this Tarte Flambée is lighter than traditional pizza, making it a guilt-free option for any meal.
Bringing It All Together
Making Tarte Flambée with Salmon is simple and fun. I start by preparing the dough, giving it time to rest while I gather the toppings. Once everything is ready, I roll out the dough, spread on the creamy base, and layer on the toppings. Then, it’s into the oven for a quick bake until the crust is golden and crispy.
Conclusion
So there you have it – a taste of Germany right in your own kitchen! Tarte Flambée with Salmon is a dish that’s easy to make, yet full of flavor and goodness. Whether you’re cooking for yourself or sharing with friends, I hope you enjoy this delicious recipe as much as I do. Happy cooking!

kcalThis Tarte Flambée with Salmon features a crispy thin crust topped with a creamy base of crème fraîche, complemented by slices of smoked salmon, capers, red onion, lemon, and fresh dill. After assembling the toppings, bake the tart in a hot oven for 8-10 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are heated through. Serve hot and garnish with additional fresh dill for a flavorful and elegant dish.
Ingredients
- For the Dough
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 tablespoon olive oil
- For the Topping
150g smoked salmon
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 lemon, thinly sliced
1/2 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the lukewarm water and olive oil.
- Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form it into a ball, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to its highest setting, usually around 250°C (480°F). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
- In a small bowl, mix the crème fraîche or sour cream with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Slice the red onion thinly and cut the lemon into thin slices.
- Chop the fresh dill.
- Divide the rested dough into two equal portions. On a floured surface, roll out each portion of dough into a very thin rectangle or round shape.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
- Spread half of the crème fraîche or sour cream mixture evenly over each dough rectangle or round, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Arrange the smoked salmon slices, capers, red onion slices, lemon slices, and chopped dill evenly over the top.
- If using a pizza stone, carefully transfer the assembled tarts to the hot stone in the oven using a pizza peel. If using a baking sheet, place it directly in the oven.
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the dough are crispy and golden brown, and the toppings are heated through.
- Remove the tart from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.

Tips
- One tip for making this Tarte Flambée with Salmon is to preheat your oven and, if available, a pizza stone before baking. Preheating ensures that the oven and pizza stone are hot enough to crisp up the crust quickly once the tart is placed inside, resulting in a beautifully golden and crispy base. If you don’t have a pizza stone, you can still bake the tart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, but preheating the oven is still essential for optimal results. Additionally, when assembling the tart, make sure not to overload it with toppings, as this can prevent the crust from cooking evenly.
