Bagel with salmon and capers
This recipe for delicious sandwiches with red fish is not quite traditional for the Russian table. It differs in that instead of the usual slices of bread, a bagel is used - an unsweetened bagel. You can find these products in the store, but if you wish, they can be easily prepared from scratch. So you need the following.
For the filling of sandwiches:
- 200 grams of Philadelphia cheese (or any cream cheese);
- 500 grams of smoked salmon;
- 1 red onion;
- 1 jar of capers;
- 100 grams of leaf lettuce.
To prepare 10 bagels:
- 800 grams of flour;
- 550 ml of warm water;
- 3/4 tablespoon (16 grams) of dry yeast;
- 6 tablespoons melted butter;
- 2 tablespoons sugar;
- 1 tablespoon of salt.
To cover:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda;
- poppy seeds;
- 1 egg
How to make bagels?
Combine the flour and dry yeast in a bowl.
In another large container, combine all other ingredients except flour and yeast. Add flour there gradually and mix with a mixer. When the dough becomes very thick, put it on a work surface and knead with your hands for 10-15 minutes, sprinkle with flour.
It should be very soft and slightly sticky. Place the dough in a greased bowl. Cover with foil. Let stand for about 1 hour until it doubles in volume.
Then divide the dough into 10 equal slices. Roll up the balls, then extend them in length and fold the rings. Try to fold the products so that the hole in the middle is at least 6 cm. Put the bagels on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
Allow the items to rise for 1 hour, covering them with a towel.
Boil plenty of water. Add a little soda to it and heat a little (water should remain on low heat). Dip the bagels in the mixture one at a time. Boil them for one minute.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 250 ° C. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bagels from the soda solution and gently place them on a clean cloth to absorb excess water.
Then quickly transfer them to a greased baking sheet. Cover their surface with a beaten egg and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake bagels, lowering the temperature to 190 ° C, for about 20-25 minutes. Cool finished products completely.
How to make stuffed bagels
When the products have cooled, you can start making sandwiches with red fish out of them. The photo attached to the article clearly demonstrates how they look ready-made. Cut the finished cooled bagels in half lengthwise. Spread one half with cream cheese, put on top a slice of smoked salmon, onions, capers and salad. Cover with the second half of the bagel. Repeat with all products.
Option with yogurt and capers
For sandwiches with red fish, you can also use such a useful dressing as Greek yogurt. This product is neutral in taste and smell, which allows the rest of the snack ingredients to open better. For such sandwiches you will need:
- 2 cans (170 grams each) of any salmon canned in its own juice;
- 200 grams of plain Greek yogurt (2%);
- 1/4 cup chopped finely green onion;

Press a little on top of the sandwich, letting the yolk soak in the bread a little, then cut across in half and enjoy.
Grilled salmon or trout option
As a rule, salted or smoked fish is used for sandwiches. But you can show originality and use the fried tender fillet. In combination with mustard and cheese, a completely original appetizer is obtained. To prepare it you will need:
- slices of bread for toast;
- Dijon mustard;
- butter;
- chilled salmon or trout fillet;
- brie cheese;
- chopped dill fresh.
Cooking Fried Fish Sandwiches
Fry the fish fillet in a pan. Mix Dijon mustard with butter until smooth, apply the mixture on half slices of bread. Top with pieces of fried fish, thinly sliced brie cheese and dill.

If desired, canned red fish can be used instead of fried in this recipe. The main thing is to use canned food in your own juice, without butter and sauces.
