Layer 1 ounce of low sodium smoked salmon over each cream cheese spread bagel half. Try to distribute the salmon evenly for consistent flavor.
Sprinkle the rinsed and drained capers over the salmon on both halves, ensuring an even distribution, followed by freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Place thin slices of red onion and tomato on top of the salmon and capers. Arrange them attractively to showcase the vibrant colors.
Drizzle a little lemon juice over the bagel toppings for a zesty kick that complements the smokiness of the salmon.
Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped dill to enhance the freshness and aroma of the bagel.
