Bagel Chips With Smoked Salmon Capers And Lemon Recipes

SMOKED SALMON DIP

Steps:

• Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, capers, and Tabasco in a food processor fitted with the metal blade; pulse until blended. Add the salmon, dill and chives and pulse, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary, until the salmon is finely chopped. Taste and add salt, if necessary (I usually add about ¼ teaspoon, but it depends on the saltiness of the smoked salmon). Serve as a dip with crackers or bagel chips, or as a spread with bagels.
• Make ahead: This dip can be made a few days ahead of time. However, it gets quite firm in the fridge so let it sit out at room temperature before serving, otherwise it will be hard to scoop.

SMOKED SALMON DIP WITH BAGEL CHIPS

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine mayonnaise, cream cheese, capers, red onion, lemon juice, horseradish, and 2 ounces smoked salmon. Process until smooth, about 20 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in remaining 2 ounces smoked salmon. Top with fresh parsley and serve with bagel chips.

BAGEL CHIPS WITH SMOKED SALMON, CAPERS, AND LEMON

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese, lemon juice and zest. Season with salt and pepper. Dollop a small spoonful of cream cheese mixture on each bagel chip. Gently roll salmon pieces into loose cylinders and lightly pinch together at the bottom to create a rose shape. Place salmon pieces, pinched side down, on top of chips; sprinkle with capers. Arrange chips on a platter and garnish with greens.

EVERYTHING-BAGEL SMOKED SALMON DIP

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, trout, dill, lemon zest and juice and everything-bagel seasoning. Season with black pepper. (The fish and bagel seasoning are both salty, so you likely won't need additional salt.)
• Spoon into a serving bowl and top with more everything-bagel seasoning, black pepper and dill. Eat with any mix of dippers. (It keeps in the fridge for up to 4 days, but season again with lemon, salt and pepper before eating.)
