3. Add the Smoked Salmon: Lay 2 ounces of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese spread on each half.
4. Layer the Vegetables: Top the salmon with slices of red onion and avocado if using. Sprinkle capers over the top.
5. Season: Finish with a pinch of salt and pepper and fresh dill.
6. Assemble: Place the other half of the bagel on top, press gently, and your sandwich is ready to serve. Cut in half for easier handling.
