The story behind
I first fell in love with this combination at a small deli, and since then, it's been my favorite way to treat myself. It feels like a fancy brunch but takes almost no time to assemble. While bagels have deep roots in Polish and Jewish history, this specific version is all about that modern, fresh crunch. It’s perfect for a late-morning meal. Try it with a cold cold brew coffee or a mimosa if you're feeling festive. The peppery arugula is the secret ingredient here—it changes everything!
Instructions
-
1Toast the bagel halves until they are golden and the seeds are fragrant.

-
3Layer a generous handful of arugula over the cream cheese.
-
4Fold the smoked salmon slices over the greens to create volume.
-
5Sprinkle with fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon, then top it off and enjoy.
