Notes/Tips
When selecting your smoked salmon, go for high-quality cold-smoked salmon. It’s thinly sliced, has a subtly smoky flavor and buttery texture that pairs perfectly with the cream cheese.
For the cream cheese, you can opt for the traditional plain one or experiment with different flavors such as herb or garlic for an added twist.
Don’t forget to toast your bagel as it gives a nice crunch that contrasts the soft filling.
Lastly, capers are a must for this recipe as they give an excellent salty, briny punch that cuts through the richness of the salmon and cream cheese.
