I truly love smoked salmon. When I was vegan for all of those years I missed smoked salmon a lot! (although to be fair I did find a banging smoked 'carrot' recipe, sounds weird but it was really good!). This recipe is pretty classic, at least in the NYC area. It's one of my favorite brunch items and even Ben has taken a liking to it!
If you're in NYC get yourself a delicious gf bagel!- ask me my favorite place and you will not be sad you did, bonus - they ship if you're not in NYC!)

- 3/4 oz Vegan Cream Cheese (Regular)
- 4 slices Gluten-Free Bread (toasted)

- 2 tbsps Lemon Juice

Instructions
- Spread the cream cheese over each slice of bread. Top evenly with the smoked salmon.
