A quick and impressive smoked salmon breakfast board perfect for brunch, combining smoky salmon, creamy spreads, fresh veggies, and crunchy bread in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ounces (170 g) thinly sliced smoked salmon (lox)
  • 4 bagels or 8 slices artisan bread, toasted
  • 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, softened (plain or chive-flavored)
  • ½ cup (120 g) Greek yogurt (optional, for lighter spread)
  • 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
  • Fresh dill sprigs for garnish
  • Lemon wedges for squeezing
  • Optional: thinly sliced radishes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • Sea salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat toaster or oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice bagels in half or prepare bread slices. Toast for 5-7 minutes until golden and slightly crisp.
  2. Soften cream cheese at room temperature. For a lighter option, mix Greek yogurt with lemon juice and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  3. Thinly slice cucumber, red onion, halve cherry tomatoes, and slice avocado just before assembly to prevent browning.
  4. Separate smoked salmon slices into bite-sized pieces and keep refrigerated until assembly.
  5. On a large board or platter, place toasted bagels or bread slices. Spread cream cheese on each piece or serve alongside.
  6. Arrange smoked salmon slices next to or atop the bread. Scatter cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and avocado around the board. Add capers and dill sprigs.
  7. Drizzle olive oil over veggies and salmon. Season with black pepper and sea salt. Place lemon wedges on the board for squeezing.
  8. Optionally add thinly sliced radishes or other crunchy garnishes. Serve immediately.

Notes

Toast bread to a sturdy crunch but keep it soft inside. Slice avocado last and add lemon juice immediately to prevent browning. Use quality smoked salmon for best flavor. Keep the board from overcrowding for easy serving. Prepare veggies and cream cheese in advance but assemble just before serving for freshness.
