Set your oven or toaster to low heat and gently toast the low sodium bagel halves until they are lightly golden and crispy, about 2 minutes.
Spread 1 tablespoon of low sodium cream cheese evenly on each bagel half.
Layer the unsalted lox slices on top of the cream cheese, distributing them evenly across both halves.
Drizzle the lox with lemon juice to add brightness to the flavor.
Sprinkle fresh dill evenly over the top of the lox for an aromatic touch.
If desired, add capers sparingly to provide a tangy contrast. Ensure they are rinsed well to minimize salt content.
Place the red onion slices on top of the lox. Make sure they are thinly sliced to enhance the flavor without overpowering.
Top each bagel half with cucumber slices for a refreshing and crunchy element.
Finally, garnish with a pinch of freshly ground black pepper for a subtle kick and to enhance the flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium classic bagel with cream cheese and lox.
