creamy chive and onion dip layered with smoked ocean trout and a bright caper dressing — fresh, zesty, and best scooped up with a warm bagel.
Dressing
In a small bowl, combine shallot, capers, dill, chives, lemon zest and lemon juice.
Pour over the olive oil and season generously with freshly cracked black pepper.
Set aside for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse.
Layer it up
Spoon the chive and onion dip onto a serving platter, then create soft swoops with the back of a spoon.
Arrange slices of the smoked ocean trout over the dip.
Spoon the herby caper dressing over the top.
Serve alongside fresh bagels.
