I had a fresh salmon steak in the refrigerator. Before starting cooking, I salted the fish, seasoned it with ground pepper and put it in the refrigerator. While the bagels are being prepared, the fish will be salted and ready to eat. For the recipe, you can take purchased chopped lightly salted or smoked salmon.
