Notes
Smoked Salmon Choice: Both hot smoked salmon and cold smoked salmon can be used. Hot smoked salmon offers a stronger flavor and flakier texture, while cold smoked salmon provides a silky smooth bite. Either version makes a delicious smoked salmon and avocado bagel.
Bagel Options: Whole grain or multigrain bagels add extra fiber and iron, making this smoked salmon and avocado bagel even more nutrient dense.
Avocado Tip: To keep avocado fresh and prevent browning, mash it right before serving. If prepping ahead, mix in a little lemon juice to slow oxidation.
Egg Variations: Poached eggs give a soft, runny yolk while fried eggs add crisp texture. Both increase protein and iron in your smoked salmon and avocado bagel.
Flavor Boost: Drizzling hot honey adds a sweet and spicy contrast. Fresh herbs like dill or chives bring brightness without overpowering the salmon.
Iron Rich Pairings: Pair your smoked salmon and avocado bagel with vitamin C rich drinks like cranberry juice or a citrus smoothie to maximize iron absorption.
