Prep time:
10 minutes
Yield: 2 sandwiches | Prep time: 10 minutes |

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.

4. Spread the cream cheese and salmon mixture evenly onto the toasted bagel halves.
