Can I use bagels instead of whole grain bread?
Yes. Toast them the same way. Bagels add chew and hold up well under the cream cheese and salmon.

FAQ · Things people ask
About this recipe.
What if I don't have fresh dill?
Use 1 teaspoon dried dill. Add it to the cream cheese with a bit more lemon juice to compensate for lost brightness.
How do I store leftovers?
Don't assemble ahead. Keep components separate in the fridge for up to 2 days, then toast and assemble fresh when ready to eat.
