3.Preheat the oven to 450°F.
4.In a skillet, sauté the sliced red onion in 2 tablespoons of canola oil until caramelized.
5.On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a large oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
6.Spread the lemon-dill pesto sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
7.Sprinkle the shredded dill havarti cheese on top of the pesto sauce.
8.Add the smoked salmon and caramelized onions on top of the cheese.
9.Finish with the capers and walnuts.
10.Bake the flat-bread for 15-20 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
