Smoked Salmon Bagel
A Smoked Salmon Bagel with herb cream cheese makes for a tasty light meal, packed with fresh traditional flavors.
Equipment
- Toaster
Ingredients
- 2 bagels halved
- ¼ cup (45 g) cream cheese softened
- 4 ounces (113 g) smoked salmon
- ¼ small red onion thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons capers drained and roughly chppped
- ½ small garlic clove minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill chopped, plus extra sprigs for garnish
- ½ ripe avocado sliced
- ¼ English cucumber thinly sliced into ribbons
- ½ cup leafy greens watercress or spinach
- Salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Herb Cream Cheese: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with dill, capers, garlic, a pinch of salt (don’t add too much since salmon is quite salty), and black pepper to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Toast the Bagels: Toast the halved bagels to your desired crispness in a toaster or a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 2 minutes or until golden brown.
- Assemble the Bagels: Spread a generous layer of the herb cream cheese on each toasted bagel half.
- Place cucumber ribbons on the cream cheese, followed by slices of avocado.
- Layer on the smoked salmon, add the red onion, and top with a handful of leafy greens. Top with the other bagel half and serve.
Notes
- To slice the cucumbers, use a mandoline, or carefully slice ribbons using a vegetable peeler.
- Salad options include arugula, baby spinach, or mixed greens. Alfalfa sprouts are also something to try.
- Look for capers near the pickles in your grocery store, or near the Italian products.
- For even more flavor, serve these with a drizzle of my homemade dill mustard sauce and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
