This is my favorite way to make an incredible smoked salmon platter! Fresh smoked salmon with bagels, soft boiled eggs, cream cheese and capers, everything seasoning and so much more. Perfect for holiday breakfasts and brunches!

INGREDIENTS

• 4 eggs soft boiled 
• 1 to 2 pounds smoked salmon

• 1/4 cup everything seasoning
• 1 lemon thinly sliced
• bagels toast, crackers for serving
• freshly cracked pepper for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

1. To make the eggs, heat about 3 inches of water in a small saucepan over medium heat until boiling. Once boiling, reduce the heat until it’s barely at a simmer, add the eggs gently and cook for 6 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place in an ice bath. Let cool completely before peeling.
2. To assemble your platter, place a block of cream cheese in the center and cover it with a sprinkling of pepper, fresh dill, everything seasoning and capers. Surround it with the salmon, eggs, cucumbers, onion, tomatoes, dill, lemon and bagels or whatever else you have!
3. Serve immediately! Add champagne and coffee.

Rockfish

Season the fillet with the dill, garlic powder, lemon pepper, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Place the lemon, onion, and butter on the rockfish. Cover the entire dish with aluminum foil. Bake in preheated oven until the fish flakes easily, 20 to 25 minutes.
