For 4 servings
Prepare the toppings. Thinly slice the red onion. If you prefer a milder flavor, soak the slices in a bowl of ice water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry. Finely chop the fresh dill. Drain and rinse the capers. Cut the lemon into wedges for serving.
Slice the bagels in half horizontally. Toast them to your desired crispness using a toaster or by placing them under a broiler for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
While the bagels are still warm, spread a generous, even layer of softened cream cheese over the cut side of each bagel half (about 2 tablespoons per half).
On the bottom half of each bagel, artfully drape 2-3 slices of smoked salmon. Sprinkle evenly with the sliced red onion and capers.
Garnish with the chopped fresh dill and a crack of freshly ground black pepper. Squeeze a small amount of fresh lemon juice over the toppings just before serving. Place the top half of the bagel on, or serve open-faced. Serve immediately for the best texture.

Smoked salmon is a fantastic source of EPA and DHA, omega-3 fatty acids known to support heart health, reduce inflammation, and promote brain function.
Both the salmon and the cream cheese provide high-quality protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, muscle maintenance, and keeping you feeling full and satisfied.
Salmon is packed with B vitamins, particularly B12, B6, niacin, and riboflavin, which are crucial for energy production, creating and repairing DNA, and reducing inflammation.
A typical smoked salmon bagel with cream cheese has approximately 450-550 calories, depending on the size of the bagel and the amount of cream cheese used.
It can be part of a healthy diet. Smoked salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids and protein. To make it healthier, opt for a whole wheat bagel for more fiber and use a moderate amount of cream cheese or a lighter neufchâtel cheese.
Traditionally, lox is cured in a salt brine but not smoked, while smoked salmon is cured and then smoked (either cold-smoked or hot-smoked). However, in modern delis, the terms are often used interchangeably, with 'lox' usually referring to cold-smoked salmon.
It's best to assemble them just before serving to keep the bagel crisp. However, you can prepare all the toppings (slice onion, chop dill) ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator to make assembly quicker.
If you don't like capers, you can leave them out or substitute them with finely chopped cornichons or green olives for a similar briny, tangy flavor.
