Gourmet Smoked Salmon Bagel with Herb Cream Cheese
Over 10 years ago, I was recovering from the birth of my first baby in Provo, Utah. My husband had gone back to work, so my big brother drove from Northern Montana to come take care of me for a while. While I was in his care, he made the most amazing sandwich for me. It must have made quite an impression on me, because I was reminded of how good it was just the other day. This is my attempt at replicating that heavenly sandwich. It has everything a good sandwich should–savory cream cheese spread, smoked salmon, tart and crunchy apples, and that meaty flavor of arugula. Yum! I hope this leaves an impression on you like it did me. Enjoy!
