Step 1

Begin by preparing the cream cheese spread. In a small bowl, combine the low sodium cream cheese, fresh dill, lemon zest, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until well combined and smooth.

Step 4

Arrange the thinly sliced cucumber and red onion on top of the cream cheese layer on each bagel half.

Step 5

Evenly divide the low sodium smoked salmon and layer it over the cucumber and onion.

Step 6

If you like, sprinkle some capers over the top for an extra burst of flavor, keeping in mind any sodium restrictions.

Step 7

Top each bagel half with the remaining bagel tops and serve immediately.
