Smoked Salmon Bagel With Cream Cheese

Smoked Salmon Bagel is the perfect option for any meal of the day. Cold slices of salmon layered on top of artichoke cream cheese spread, topped with capers and a dusting of freshly cracked black pepper.

If you are a fan of cucumber sandwiches, you need to try this version of a cucumber bagel sandwich. Crisp, refreshing, and perfect for lunch, brunch or dinner.

The classic deli bagel smoked salmon and cream cheese. Perfectly balanced flavours in this easy-to-make gourmet treat. A delicious idea for breakfast, brunch, or any time.

Deli-style sandwiches are so easy to make. This corned beef sandwich is just what you need for a quick meal. Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day.

Now, do I want this, or a smoked salmon sandwich for dinner tonight? This open-faced tomato and cheese sandwich sounds good too.

Smoked salmon seems to fall into two categories. You either like it or you don’t. For the longest time, I was in the NO category. Thank goodness that has changed over the years. I would have never tried egg tacos. What a great breakfast recipe.

Bagel and Salmon Ingredients

• Fresh Bagel – Any flavour will do. I love Everything Bagels.
• Smoked Salmon Slices – I love the frozen variety. There are 10 little packages perfect for recipes just like this.
• Cream Cheese – Plain is best.
• Jarred Artichokes – Marinated artichokes are used in making the spread.
• Capers – make the perfect topping for this dish.
• Black Pepper – just a dusting is all you need.

Suggestions / Recipe Tips

• Bagel Variety – I love Everything bagels, but Pumpernickel, Sesame Seed, Plain, or Poppyseed would all be great. Toasting is our preference, but again you don’t have to. Toasted is great, but you can skip that step if you like.
• Frozen Smoked Salmon – Easily found in the grocery freezer section. Fresh will work as well.
• Cream Cheese – I like to use plain for this recipe. You can also use flavoured if you like. Both block and whipped work in this recipe.
• Artichokes – Marinated artichokes add a nice flavour to this cream cheese spread. Plain canned will also work.
• Capers – Add a nice topping. You can also use fresh dill.
