Ingredients

• For serving:
• 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
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 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

Preparation

Step 1

With your hands, flake the whitefish, being careful to discard all the skin and bones. In a medium bowl, gently combine the whitefish with the red onion, celery, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Taste for seasoning.

Toast the bagel slices in a toaster. Arrange a platter with the smoked salmon, cream cheese, tomatoes, and red onions. Serve with the whitefish salad at room temperature.
