The Sesame Bagel with Lox and Capers has a rich history rooted in New York City's Jewish delis. This iconic dish features a toasted sesame bagel topped with silky slices of cured salmon, tangy capers, and a schmear of cream cheese. The dish gained popularity in the early 20th century as Jewish immigrants brought their culinary traditions to the bustling streets of NYC. Today, renowned delis like Russ & Daughters and Zabar's continue to serve up this classic combination, with each chef adding their own unique touch. The key to a perfect Sesame Bagel with Lox and Capers lies in the quality of the ingredients, especially the fresh, thinly sliced lox and the perfectly toasted sesame bagel.

Whether enjoyed in a bustling deli in Manhattan or recreated at home, this dish remains a beloved staple in New York's culinary scene.
