This classic New York-style bagel is the ultimate quick, high-protein Fish Breakfast or brunch. A warm, toasted bagel provides the satisfying crunch, which is layered with a rich, tangy cream cheese mixed with fresh herbs (dill or chives). Thin slices of high-quality smoked salmon (lox) and briny capers complete the assembly, offering a balance of creamy, smoky, salty, and sharp flavors. It's an easy, no-cook meal that is both indulgent and fresh.
