Ingredients

1 everything bagel, split and toasted
3 oz cold-smoked salmon (lox)
2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
1 tsp capers, drained
2 thin slices red onion
2 slices tomato
1 small handful fresh dill (optional)

Instructions

Toast the bagel halves until golden brown.
Spread cream cheese evenly on both cut sides of the bagel.
Layer the smoked salmon on the bottom half, folding it to fit.
Top with capers, red onion slices, and tomato slices.
Garnish with fresh dill if desired, then close with the top half of the bagel. Serve immediately.

Tips

For extra flavor, use a flavored cream cheese like chive or scallion.
If you prefer a less intense onion flavor, soak the red onion slices in cold water for 5 minutes before using.
Store leftover lox wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
