This no-cook spread layers cold-smoked salmon with cream cheese, capers, red onion, and cucumber alongside toasted everything bagels. It works well for brunch, a holiday breakfast, or a casual gathering where guests build their own bagel. The components come together quickly, making it as much about artful arrangement as cooking.

Ingredients

  • 6 everything bagels, halved
  • 12 ounces cold-smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup capers, drained
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped, plus extra sprigs for garnish
  • 1 hard-boiled egg, sliced (optional)
  • 0 freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Slice the bagels in half and toast them until golden and crisp at the edges.

  2. While the bagels toast, thinly slice the red onion, cucumber, and tomato, and arrange them in separate piles on a large serving platter.

  3. Spread the softened cream cheese into a shallow bowl or directly onto a section of the platter for easy scooping.

  4. Drape the smoked salmon slices in loose folds across the center of the platter.

  5. Scatter the capers over and around the salmon, then tuck lemon wedges and dill sprigs between the piles of vegetables.

  6. Arrange the sliced hard-boiled egg, if using, around the edges of the platter and sprinkle the chopped dill over the salmon.

  7. Add the toasted bagel halves around the platter's edge, finish with cracked black pepper, and serve immediately so guests can build their own bagels.
