Smoked Salmon Bagel With Cream Cheese

Smoked Salmon Bagel is the perfect option for any meal of the day. Cold slices of smoked 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.

Deli-style sandwiches are so easy to make. You will want to try this Sliced Corned Beef Sandwich too.

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.

RECIPE and INSTRUCTIONS for this open-faced bagel with cream cheese and salmon are at the bottom of this post.

Ingredients Needed For This Easy Recipe

• Fresh Bagel – Any flavour will do. I love Everything Bagels.

• Black Pepper – just a dusting is all you need.

Making Deli Style Smoked Salmon Bagels Right At Home

This salmon and cream cheese bagel happens to be one of our favourite brunch eats. No need to spend money at the deli.

• Thaw the salmon slices (in the fridge).
• Mix up the artichoke cream cheese spread.
• Choose a bagel flavour.
• Cut the bagel in ½ and toast.
• Cover each half with cream cheese.
• Top with 2-3 slices of salmon.
• Garnish is capers.
• Top with a hit of freshly ground black pepper.

Substitutions

• Bagel Variety – I love Everything bagels, but Pumpernickle, Seasame Seed, Plain, or Poppyseed would all be great. Toasting is our preference, but again you don’t have to.
• 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.
