- 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
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.
