The history of the Sesame Bagel with Lox and Capers dates back to the Jewish immigrants who brought their love for bagels and smoked salmon to America in the late 19th century. The dish gained popularity in New York City, particularly in the Jewish delis of the Lower East Side. The combination of the savory, salty lox, briny capers, and the slight bitterness of arugula creates a perfect balance of flavors. Today, this classic dish can be found in delis and brunch spots across the country, but some of the best versions can still be enjoyed in the iconic delis of New York City. The key to a perfect Sesame Bagel with Lox and Capers is the quality of the ingredients - a fresh, chewy sesame bagel, thinly sliced silky lox, and peppery arugula. The dish is often served with a schmear of cream cheese and a sprinkle of red onion for an extra kick of flavor. Whether you're in New York City or elsewhere, this dish is a must-try for any bagel and lox enthusiast.
