Best Everything Bagel Crusted Salmon Recipe
3 min read
A fluffy, chewy, everything bagel topped with cream cheese, smoked salmon, and all the fixin’s is my idea of a solid brunch. It’s time to bring the brunch vibes to dinnertime with everything bagel seasoning crusted salmon and a refreshing salad that’s reminiscent of the toppings on your favorite loaded lox sandwich. And if you’ve never turned cream cheese into a salad dressing, now is the time to start.
The secret star of this recipe is actually the harissa paste that gets spread onto the salmon before baking. Not only does it give the seasoning something it can cling to, but it also has a smoky, spicy, red pepper kick, which helps cut through the fatty salmon. Store-bought is ideal to keep this recipe easy, but the heat level will depend on what brand you buy, so feel free to adjust how much you add based on your tolerance. If you’re not too keen on extra heat, everything bagel seasoning is a super-versatile combo of dehydrated garlic and onion flakes, sesame seeds, and poppy seeds, which means you have room to mix it up—try Dijon mustard or teriyaki glaze!
