Ingredients

1 everything bagel, sliced in half
3 oz cream cheese, softened
3 oz smoked salmon (lox)
1 tbsp capers, drained
2 thin slices red onion
Optional: fresh dill sprigs for garnish

Instructions

Toast the bagel halves until golden brown.
Spread cream cheese evenly on both cut sides of the bagel.
Layer smoked salmon on the bottom half, folding or tearing to fit.
Scatter capers over the salmon.
Separate red onion slices into rings and place on top of capers.
Close the sandwich with the top half of the bagel. Serve immediately.

Tips

For best texture, let cream cheese come to room temperature before spreading.
Substitute with a plain or sesame bagel if preferred.
Store assembled sandwich in the fridge for up to 2 hours; toasting the bagel just before serving is recommended.
