Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven, preferably with a pizza stone inside, to 500 degrees for 30 minutes.
Step 2
While oven is heating, cut salmon into 2-inch squares and reserve.
Step 3
Roll or stretch dough into four 8-inch circles. If using a pizza stone, put the circles on a lightly floured wooden peel. Otherwise put them on an oiled, floured baking sheet.
Step 4
Brush each pizza with olive oil to within 1 inch of the edge and sprinkle with red onion. Put pizzas in the oven and bake 8 to 12 minutes, until crusts are golden brown.
Step 5
While pizzas are baking, mix dill with sour cream and season with pepper.
Step 6
When pizzas are done, transfer to warm dinner plates and spread with the sour cream mixture. Arrange the pieces of salmon on top, and if desired, put a tablespoon of golden caviar in the center of each and spoon a little black caviar on the golden caviar. Garnish each pizza with a sprig of dill and serve.
