Creating the Avocado & Smoked Salmon Bagel is a straightforward process, and it takes just 10 minutes from start to finish. Follow these step-by-step instructions to assemble your bagel:

1. Toast the bagel until golden brown.
   Toasting enhances the flavor and provides a crispy contrast to the creamy and soft ingredients.
2. While the bagel is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
3. Mash the avocado with a fork and add lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
   Adjust the seasoning to your preference, keeping in mind that the smoked salmon will also add saltiness.
4. Spread the avocado mixture on the toasted bagel halves.
5. Top each half with smoked salmon, and add capers and dill if desired.
   The capers add a burst of acidity, while dill provides a fresh, herbal note.
6. Enjoy your delicious bagel!
   Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect combination of flavors and textures.
