Ingredients
Method
- Toast the bagel halves until just golden, about 2 minutes.
- Spread 1 tablespoon cream cheese onto each warm half, all the way to the edges.
- Drape the smoked salmon evenly over the cream cheese, tearing pieces to fit.
- Scatter the capers, red onion, and dill on top, then finish with a squeeze of lemon and black pepper. Serve immediately.
Notes
If you’re using a toaster oven or broiler, watch carefully so the bagel doesn’t burn. This recipe tastes best right after assembly—the warmth of the toast against the cold salmon is half the pleasure.
