Start your five-star meal right with this gourmet appetizer. Dill brings out the salmon’s smoky flavor, while the cream cheese serves as a luscious counterpoint and holds it all together. The bagel chips top the dish off with a satisfying crunch. Serves 2 or 3

Ingredients

2 oz. dry smoked salmon
1 oz. cream cheese
¼ tsp dill
1 5.5-oz. package bagel chips (Trail Chef’s flavor pick: everything)

In camp

Mix salmon, dill, and cream cheese (set aside a pinch of dill if you’re feeling super fancy). Smear on chips and top with remaining dill, if desired.
