Ingredients
- Bagels
- 2, halved
- Cream cheese
- 4 ounces, softened

- 4 ounces, thinly sliced
- Red onion
- 1/4, thinly sliced
- Capers
- 2 tablespoons, drained

Instructions
- Begin by preheating your toaster or broiler. Toast the bagel halves until they are golden brown and crispy, enhancing their flavor and texture.

- Add a few slices of red onion on top of the salmon to provide a sharp, crunchy contrast.
- Sprinkle the capers over the red onion, as they add delightful bursts of briny flavor with each mouthful.
- Finish by garnishing your bagel with freshly chopped dill to introduce a fragrant herbal note.
- Serve each bagel with a wedge of lemon on the side, allowing diners to squeeze fresh citrus over their bagel for an added layer of brightness.
