Healthy Smoked Salmon Bagel Breakfast

Smoked Salmon Bagel – a delicious and healthy bagel filled with smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, red onion slices and….dill pickles!

Smoked Salmon Bagel

Confession time: I have a sweet tooth. Especially when breakfast is involved. I cannot start my day without a freshly ground coffee mug and something sweet. Anything sweet 🙂

I discovered bagels couple of years back when we moved to US and since then, we have developed a love-hate relationship. They are just perfect! for breakfast, lunch or just as a snack.

I would usually go for raspberry spread on top… but not today. 

I have decided to change my whole breakfast routine. I am trying to cut back on sweets and add more healthier options to my plate. So, I switched the sweet spread with smoked salmon bagel and some cream cheese.

I tried this combination for the first time, some weeks ago when we were in Ottawa.

If you ever find yourself looking for the perfect brekkie in Ottawa, that will not actually ruin your bank account, head to Fairmont Chateau Laurier.

You will be double spoiled, delicious food and breathtaking interiors!

This is my favorite breakfast ever! I have never tried it with pickles though. When I have made it, I use cream cheese, smoked salmon and capers. I need to try your version!

I usually love a sweet breakfast too.. but bagels I can devour any day! Love them - especially when they are filled with as much delicious salmon and cream cheese as this.
