Ingredients
- 9 bagels
- 240 g 8.5 oz herb and chive flavored cream cheese, or plain cream cheese
- 425 g 15 oz cold smoked salmon or lox slices
- 65 g 2.3 oz capers
- 1 small red onion thinly sliced
- 30 g 1 oz fresh dill, chopped
- Optional toppings: thinly sliced cucumber tomato, avocado
Instructions
- Slice the bagels in half horizontally.
- Generously spread cream cheese on the cut sides of each bagel half.
- Arrange thin slices of smoked salmon or lox on the cream cheese.
- Garnish with thinly sliced red onion, a sprinkling of capers, and a dash of freshly chopped dill.
- For a sandwich-style presentation, place the lox-topped bagel half on top of the other half.
- Optionally, add thinly sliced cucumber, tomato, or avocado for extra freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Substitute plain cream cheese with herb and chive flavored variety for a tangier flavor.
- Lox refers to brined salmon, while smoked salmon is cured with hot smoke. Either works well in this recipe.
- Adjust amounts of toppings like capers, onions, and dill to personal taste preferences.
- Serve these bagels at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
- Consider toasting the bagels lightly before assembling them for added crunch.
