Smoked Salmon Sandwich
Instead of scarfing down a 400-calorie bagel with cream cheese for breakfast, switch to a slice of protein-filled Ezekiel Bread (it has 4 grams of protein per slice) that's smothered with Greek yogurt and topped with your favorite bagel toppings—including smoked salmon! This simple yet tasty combo will give you 24 grams of protein for a fraction of the calories! It doesn't get much better than that.
Ingredients:
- 1⁄4 cup whipped cream cheese
- 8 slices whole-wheat or 9-grain bread, toasted
- 2 Tbsp capers, rinsed and chopped
- 1⁄2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups mixed baby greens
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 8 oz smoked salmon
Instructions:
- Spread 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese on each of the four slices of toast.
- Top each with capers, onion, greens, and a slice or two of tomato.
- Lightly salt the tomato, then add as much pepper as you'd like (this sandwich cries out for a lot of it).
- Finish by draping a few slices of smoked salmon over the tomatoes and topping with the remaining slices of toasted bread.
