Bagels are great all year round, but especially worth making when you find smoked salmon on special offer (often in the run-up to Christmas or Easter). Serves: 4 Cooking time: 5 mins 4 bagels 1 pack cream cheese (such as Philadelphia) 200-250g smoked salmon Polish-style sweet-sour pickled cucumbers Black pepper A lemon, or squeezy lemon juice Split and toast the bagels on the cut side. Spread the lower halves with cream cheese, top with a slice of salmon, squeeze a little lemon juice and grind some black pepper over the top, finish with a few slices of pickled cucumber and sandwich with the top half of the bagel.
