Ingredients
- 2 pieces Low sodium bagels
- 4 tablespoons Low sodium cream cheese
- 100 grams Low sodium smoked salmon (lox)
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) for toasting the bagels.
Slice the low sodium bagels in half horizontally and place them on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Toast the bagels in the oven for about 5 minutes or until they are lightly browned and crisp.
While the bagels are toasting, prepare the other ingredients. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with the lemon juice and black pepper until well combined.
Once the bagels are toasted, remove them from the oven. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on each half of the bagels.
Evenly distribute the smoked salmon across the bagel halves.
Top the salmon with slices of red onion and cucumber.
Scatter the capers over the vegetables and sprinkle with fresh dill.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-sodium bagel with lox and cream cheese.
