Notes

You can use a plain bagel for this recipe, but in my version, I use everything bagel for that extra burst of flavor (top of the bagel has a blend of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, and kosher salt).

Whether you grab your favorite bagels from the grocery store, your local bagel shop, or even bake them at home, the result will be delicious.

I even tried making them the night before, for a quick protein-packed breakfast on a weekday morning, and they still tasted amazing! Just wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for the night.

Want some variation ideas? A great way to enhance the flavor even more is by adding several capers (my favorite), some fresh chopped dill or chili flakes.

3. Cut fresh bagels in half and toast them until lightly golden brown. I use my toaster oven, but you can also use an air fryer at 380°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes or a skillet (medium heat) to toast the bagels.
4. Spread the cream cheese and salmon mixture evenly onto the toasted bagel halves.
