Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 pounds smoked whitefish, skinned and boned
  • 1/2 cup minced red onion
  • 1/2 cup minced celery
  • 1 cup good mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 bagels, sliced in thirds horizontally
  • 1 pound thinly sliced smoked salmon
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • sliced tomatoes and thinly sliced red onions
