Bagel and Lox


My husband really enjoys lox so we made this for dinner the other night (traditionally it's a breakfast food, though it seemed like the perfect "hot day supper").  There are several ways that you can enjoy lox - however this seems to be the most common combination. 

I'm not a huge fan of raw fish (I usually order "dynamite" or "California rolls" whenever we go for sushi). I am a huge fan of salmon however (especially when its smoked) so I thought I would give this recipe a try.  While I don't think it will be hitting my plate on a weekly basis, it will definitely be a nice treat - perhaps for brunch next time we have company in town?
Ingredients
- 1 bagel (pictured is an "Everything" bagel - my favourite!)
- 2 tbsp cream cheese (I used dill)
- 3 slices of lox (thinly sliced smoked salmon)
- 3-5 thin slices of purple onion
- 4-6 capers
- sprig of fresh dill (optional)
Directions
Assemble sandwich in order of ingredients. 

Enjoy!
