Equipment
- 1 toaster
- 2 forks
Ingredients
- 3 bagels of choice sliced in half and toasted
- ½ cup whipped cream cheese use as needed
- 12 ounces smoked salmon cracked pepper flavor, or plain flavor
- ½-¾ cup Roma tomatoes remove seeds and finely dice
- 1-1.5 tablespoons capers drain any liquid
- pinch kosher salt to lightly season
- pinch fresh dill as garnish
- sliced lemon optional, as garnish
Instructions
How to Make
- Add the hot smoked salmon to a plate. Remove the skin. Use two forks to lightly flake the salmon. Add the flaked salmon to a bowl. Add the finely diced tomatoes and drained capers. Taste and season accordingly. I added a pinch of kosher salt. Capers are already salty so you do not need a lot of kosher salt. If using plain smoked salmon, you may want to add a few turns of cracked black pepper as well.
- Toast your bagel and add a generous dollop of whipped cream cheese. Spread out the cream cheese and top with the smoked salmon mixture. Finish with a few pieces of fresh dill. Serve with a small salad or sliced lemon. Enjoy.
