How to make it

4 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Slice the bagel in half

    Slice the bagel in half and toast until golden brown and crisp on the edges.

  2. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese evenly

    Spread a generous layer of cream cheese (about 1 oz or 28g per side) evenly over the cut sides of the toasted bagel halves.

  3. Layer the tomato slices

    Layer the tomato slices on the bottom half, then drape the smoked salmon (lox) over the cream cheese on both halves.

  4. Top with thinly sliced red onions, capers, and fresh dill sprigs

    Top with thinly sliced red onions, capers, and fresh dill sprigs. Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the top if desired, then close the bagel or serve open-faced.

A little kitchen wisdom

For the best flavor, use a fresh 'everything' bagel and high-quality cold-smoked salmon (lox). If you prefer a milder taste, soak the sliced red onions in cold water for 5 minutes before serving.

Keep the good going

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

Veggies can be sliced 24 hours in advance. Smoked salmon should be kept sealed until use.

Store & enjoy

Best enjoyed immediately. If storing, keep components separate. Assembled bagels will become soggy. Do not reheat assembled bagel. If needed, toast the bagel separately before assembling.

Allergens
