Serves 4

2 bunches everything bagels, halved and toasted
1 piece of smoked salmon, flaked
1 avocado
1 lemon
2 thin slices of red onion
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
salt and freshly cracked pepper

While bagels are toasting, mash avocado with the juice of half a lemon in a small bowl. Season to taste.
Schmear each bagel half with avocado spread, then top with smoked salmon, red onion and capers. (I like eating mine open-faced.) Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a twist or two of freshly cracked black pepper.
