Smoked Salmon Bagel
Description
This recipe for Smoked Salmon Bagel highlights a fresh cream cheese blend made by mixing cream cheese, lemon juice, and chopped dill. After toasting bagel halves, this mixture is spread on both sides. Layered toppings include cucumber peeled into ribbons for crunch, thinly sliced smoked salmon for savory smoke flavor, capers for briny contrast, and red onion slices for sharpness. The open-faced bagels are then closed and served.
The interplay of creamy, citrusy spread with smoky fish and crisp vegetables makes this a satisfying and classic choice for a morning meal or light lunch. It can be enjoyed immediately after assembly to preserve freshness and texture.
