Poor Man's New York Bagel

Some people get grossed out at the thought of fish for breakfast, but one of my favorite breakfast foods is a toasted plain bagel with cream cheese, lox (smoked salmon) and capers. The problem is that lox is pretty darn expensive. Even on sale, it's about $6 for 4oz. Recently though, I discovered though that a slice of tomato is a tasty and healthy substitute, especially if you sprinkle some of the juice from the capers onto it. It's still a bit of a compromise, but it's a great alternative for the price.
