Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole wheat bagel
- 3 tablespoons Low sodium cream cheese
- 2 ounces Thinly sliced smoked salmon
- 1 teaspoon Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Capers, rinsed
- 2 slices Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 wedges Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Start by toasting the whole wheat bagel to your desired level of crispiness. This will enhance the flavor and provide a nice contrast to the creamy topping.
Step 2
Once the bagel is toasted, spread an even layer of low sodium cream cheese over each half. Ensure it's smooth and reaches the edges for full flavor in every bite.
Step 3
Arrange the thinly sliced smoked salmon over the cream cheese. Try to distribute it evenly across both bagel halves.
Step 4
Sprinkle the fresh dill over the salmon. This aromatic herb will add a pleasant fragrance and a touch of freshness.
Step 5
Garnish the bagel with the rinsed capers. These provide a burst of acidity and complement the richness of the salmon.
Step 6
Add the thinly sliced red onion on top. This will lend a slight sharpness that cuts through the creaminess and smokiness.
Step 7
Serve the bagel with a lemon wedge on the side. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the top just before eating for a hint of citrusy tang that elevates the dish.
