Salmon Bagel Wraps
Salmon Bagel Wraps are a delicious, portable twist on the classic lox and bagel combo. Instead of a bagel, you use a soft wrap (or tortilla) to roll up smoked salmon, cream cheese, fresh veggies, and herbs for a nutritious and flavor-packed breakfast, lunch, or snack. Think of it as all your favorite bagel toppings in a convenient roll-up format—fresh, creamy, savory, and satisfying.
Time Required
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Assembly Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients
2 whole grain or plain wraps (or tortillas or lavash)
4 oz smoked salmon (lox-style, thinly sliced)
4 tbsp cream cheese (plain or chive-flavored)
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
½ cucumber, thinly sliced into ribbons or rounds
1 small tomato, thinly sliced or diced
½ cup baby spinach or arugula
1 tbsp capers (optional but recommended)
1 tsp lemon juice
Freshly cracked black pepper
Optional: everything bagel seasoning, fresh dill
Instructions
Warm the Wraps (Optional):
If your wrap is a bit stiff, warm it in a dry pan for 10–15 seconds per side to make it more pliable.
Spread Cream Cheese:
Evenly spread 2 tablespoons of cream cheese onto each wrap, going close to the edges.
Layer the Fillings:
Add slices of smoked salmon evenly over the cream cheese.
Top with red onion, cucumber, tomato, greens, and capers.
Sprinkle with lemon juice and black pepper.
Add a pinch of everything bagel seasoning or fresh dill if desired.
Roll It Up:
Roll the wrap tightly from one side to the other, tucking in the sides if needed. Slice in half or into bite-sized pinwheels for serving.
Serve:
Enjoy immediately or wrap tightly in foil or parchment for a to-go meal.
Tips
Use lavash or spinach wraps for variety and visual appeal.
If making ahead, layer greens between the wrap and wetter ingredients (like tomato or cucumber) to prevent sogginess.
Swap cream cheese for whipped ricotta or herbed Greek yogurt spread for a lighter option.
Add sliced hard-boiled egg or avocado for extra richness.
Notes
These wraps are a fantastic meal-prep item and can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours, tightly wrapped.
You can also turn this into a low-carb option by using lettuce leaves instead of a wrap.
Works great as a brunch platter item if cut into pinwheels.
