Equipment

Ingredients

  • 100 grams Smoked salmon

Instructions

  • Take 3-4 slices of smoked salmon and tear it into thin pieces.
    A hand holds a slice of raw salmon over an air fryer basket filled with several other slices of raw salmon, ready to be cooked. The air fryer has a black interior and an orange handle.
  • Air fry at 375F for 8 minutes until crispy.
    Thin slices of raw salmon are arranged in a single layer inside an air fryer basket, held by a hand with light pink nail polish against a wooden background.
  • Add smoked salmon jerky to a bagel topped with cream cheese, pickled red onions, capers, dill and thinly mandolined cucumber. Enjoy!
    A hand holds a slice of plant-based smoked "salmon" above a bagel topped with cream cheese, zucchini ribbons, pickled onions, capers, and dill on a white plate, all on a wooden surface.

Notes

  • Sweet+salty: Brush the smoked salmon with a little honey, maple syrup, or even teriyaki before air-frying. The result is perfect for anyone who loves the salty+sweet combo as much as I do.
  • Toppings: Feel free to mix up the classic toppings. Avocado adds creaminess, while arugula or fresh sprouts give it a peppery bite. 
  • Cheese spread: Instead of cream cheese, try a smear of tangy goat cheese. It pairs beautifully with the crispy, smoky salmon.
  • Bagels: While a classic everything or plain bagel is perfect, whole grain, rye, or even a pretzel bagel can add another layer of flavor and texture.
  • Herbs: Add in fresh herbs like chopped chives or tarragon. Additionally, a squeeze of fresh lemon can add a little brightness.
