Elevate your lunch or dinner with this Veggie Smoked Salmon on a Bagel topped with creamy, herb-infused Dill Cashew Cream Cheese. Bursting with flavor and crafted from wholesome ingredients, this vegan delicacy is guaranteed to delight your taste buds and leave you craving more!

You would not believe how delicious Veggie Smoked Salmon is until you try it. This is already the second time I made it, and I absolutely love it! I actually have another recipe coming up right after because I made a double portion of carrots. And guess what I made? The photos are ready; however, I will not show you until the recipe is written, but I’ll tell you what it is! I made Veggie Salmon Sushi Rolls. They’re really yummy too!

A Little Behind the Scenes
I’ll do my best to publish that one as soon as possible as well. Although I’m having a hard time sitting in front of the computer when the weather is so lovely. I just want to go outside and photograph flowers and bees! I’m also helping my daughter with her little garden while spending time with my grandsons.

Let’s Talk Bagels
However, let’s get back to this delicious Veggie Smoked Salmon on a Bagel. I’m curious: how do you usually enjoy smoked salmon? Because this recipe captures exactly the way I used to eat it. Personally, I prefer the open sandwich style, although I did it both ways for the photoshoot. By the way, the Dill Cashew Cream Cheese is absolutely dreamy and the perfect match for the veggie salmon. Oh, and I hope you like capers because I love them—even though I eat them rarely. The problem is, they are very salty, but a little bit once in a while is okay. And honestly, this bagel would not be the same without them.
Customizing Your Bagel
If you’re looking for a low-carb, keto, or gluten-free version, you can skip the bagel altogether. Instead, I suggest using Mary’s Crackers or the Omega Bun Dry Mix. Otherwise, feel free to make any adjustments based on your taste or dietary preferences. You may also want to check out my recipe for Veggie Salmon Sushi Rolls—it’s another fantastic way to enjoy this versatile veggie salmon.

Thank you so much for visiting! If you have any questions or suggestions, I would love to hear from you.

I made this for brunch today and it was EPIC! Best lox recipe I have found so far! I tweaked a couple things. I added lemon juice to the marinade and switched out 2 tsp smoke for 1 tsp smoke and 1 generous tsp smoked paprika. Thank you, I love your site.
