Bagel with hot-smoked salmon salad and cream cheese – perfect for a quick lunch or an easy dinner.
The hot-smoked salmon and the cream cheese make a rich, soft salmon salad – mild and creamy.
Perfect for lunch at home or on the go.
A sandwich with hot-smoked salmon salad has become one of my favourites; I love the texture and the mild flavour.
Fill the bagels with fresh, crisp salad leaves and, ideally, a little pickled red onion – it really is the finishing touch.
