National Bagels and Lox Day| Lox Bagel with Salsa Cream Cheese

I love the color of salmon. I love the look of sushi. Yet it wasn’t until a couple of years ago that I started eating these things. Fish in general, with the exception of shellfish, was a mystery to me and I preferred it that way. Slowly, I expanded the list of foods that I felt comfortable eating and now salmon is one of my favorite things. Although I still find anything but completely cooked salmon somewhat disturbing, I’m getting there. It’s all in my mind because when I was in Seattle for the International Food Bloggers Conference, I had plenty of smoked salmon and loved the taste.

Well, today is National Bagels and Lox Day so obviously, I need to make something for it and you just can’t get away from a different kind of salmon (at least to me) today. I really am silly because this tasted so good, but I couldn’t mentally get past a couple of bites. Sighhhhhhh.

But, the color is beautiful and it’s a classic recipe that many enjoy. I hope one day that my mental anguish at eating smoked fish will dissipate. Anyway, for you all who aren’t crazy, I hope you have a wonderful Bagels and Lox Day. 🙂

I’m pretty sure that every day could be national Bagels & Lox Day, and I’d happily comply. I’ve never thought to stir up a salsa cream cheese to go with my bagel before, but I love it!

You crack me up with your feelings on fish. And I definitely thought that Seattle would’ve changed your salmon opinion. You are right though…it is SO pretty…and also so dang tasty 😉 I’m obsessed with bagels and lox..esp with tons of capers and onions. Made a lox benedict recently…words can’t express how good it was…now, if only I could convince you of that 😉
