Open-face Bagel Sandwich with Smoked Salmon
Bon Appetit back in 2023 ran an article entitled “The Correct Way to Eat a Bagel is Open-Face. We agree. It saves on the calories and makes for easier eating. Toast each cut bagel by buttering the cut side well and placing that side down on a medium hot frying pan until it’s golden brown and toasted. Then spread with the filling below. Yes, we know that a traditional bagel spread has cream cheese. But we’re looking for non-traditional!
- 2 T red onion, finely chopped
- 1 small celery stalk, finely chopped
- 4 oz. smoked salmon, flaked
- 1/4 c mayonnaise
- 1/4 c sour cream
- 1 T lemon juice
- 1 heaping tsp capers (and a drizzle of caper juice too)
- 1 T finely chopped fresh chives, dill, or flat-leaf parsley (dill is highly recommended)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Mix onion, celery, salmon, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, and capers in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. This can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
When ready to serve, cut 2 bagels in half and toast. Spread with the salmon mix, top with chives or dill or parsley, and serve.
