Ingredients
  

Bagel Ingredients
  • 1 piece plain bagel Substitute with gluten-free if needed.
  • 2 ounces smoked salmon Buy the best quality you can find.
  • 2 ounces cream cheese Full-fat recommended for better spreadability.
Optional Toppings
  • 1 slice red onion Thinly sliced.
  • 1 piece cucumber Thinly sliced.
  • 1 tablespoon capers Pat dry if using.
  • 1 wedge lemon For spritzing.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice your bagel in half and toast it until lightly golden.
  2. While the bagel is toasting, slice the red onion and prepare any additional toppings.
  3. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese on each toasted half.
  4. Layer the smoked salmon on top, adding cucumber slices, onions, and capers as desired.
  5. Serve immediately or wrap for on-the-go.

Notes

For optimal flavor, let cream cheese sit at room temperature before spreading. Assemble right before eating to avoid soggy bread.
