Tips
- • Use high-quality, fresh ingredients - the key to an extraordinary bagel board is premium smoked salmon and cream cheese. • Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature for easier spreading and smoother texture. • Slice salmon thinly and at an angle for more delicate, translucent pieces. • Toast bagels lightly for added texture if desired, but keep them soft enough to maintain authenticity. • Arrange ingredients with visual appeal - think color, height, and strategic placement. • Serve immediately to preserve the salmon's delicate flavor and prevent bagels from becoming soggy. • Consider offering additional garnishes like lemon wedges or fresh cracked black pepper on the side.
