Ingredients

  • 2 Fresh Bagels plain, everything, or your favourite variety
  • 4 oz Whipped Cream Cheese
  • 4 oz Sockeye Smoked Salmon
  • 1 Small Cucumber thinly sliced or ribboned
  • Capers to taste
  • Fresh dill for garnish
  • Lemon wedges for serving
  • Optional: Microgreens

Instructions

  • Toast the bagels to your desired crispness.
  • Spread a generous layer of cream cheese on each half while they’re still warm—it melts just slightly for that perfect creamy bite.
  • Layer on the smoked salmon, folding it gently so it adds height and texture.
  • Top with microgreens, cucumber slices, and capers. You can go minimalist or pile it high—it’s all about balance.
  • Garnish with fresh dill and finish with a squeeze of lemon just before serving.
