• Slice the bagels through the center, sandwich fashion.
• Toast the cut side of each bagel until golden brown.
• Smear each bagel half with one tablespoon of cream cheese. Scatter equal amounts of capers and dill over four bagel halves. Press down lightly with a fork to make the capers and dill adhere.

SMOKED SALMON BAGEL RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Toast the bagel; making sure to let it sit for a second before you smear on the cream cheese. Allowing the heat to escape will not only help you create a more even schmear, but it will also make the bagel stay crisper as it sits.
• Add the smoked salmon to the bagel so that it creates an even layer.
• Add the pickled red onions, scallion slices, capers, and a few dill leaves.
• Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and serve immediately.
