Main Ingredients
- 2 bagels, halved
- 4 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, plus more for serving
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1-2 Persian cucumbers, peeled in ribbons
- Red onion slices, for serving
- Capers, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese spread: In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and evenly blended to create a flavorful spread.
- Toast the bagels: Toast the halved bagels until they are golden and slightly crisp, enhancing their texture and flavor.
- Assemble the bagels: Spread the prepared cream cheese mixture evenly on both the top and bottom halves of each toasted bagel. Layer the cucumber ribbons, smoked salmon slices, capers, and red onion slices on the bottom halves. Then place the top halves over the fillings to complete your smoked salmon bagels.
Notes
- Use fresh dill for the best flavor in the cream cheese spread.
- Pearl onions or shallots can be substituted for red onions if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of capers according to your taste preference to balance saltiness.
- For a lower-fat version, use light cream cheese.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the crunchy texture of the toasted bagels.
