1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1 small cucumber, thinly sliced

Fresh dill, for garnish

Begin by slicing the bagels in half and toasting them until golden brown.

In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each half of the toasted bagels.

Layer the smoked salmon over the cream cheese on each bagel.

Distribute the capers, red onion slices, and cucumber slices evenly atop the salmon.
