Caper Red Pepper Smoked Salmon Burger Stuffed Bagel Calzones

Yeah, so I didn’t have a better name for this. I took a half a pound salmon fillet, 4 ounces of smoked salmon (lox), chopped it up and combined it with diced red peppers, capers, sliced green onion, a quarter cup of breadcrumbs, 1 egg, a tablespoon of fresh thyme, salt and pepper, and made a salmon burger mix.

Then I took my bagel dough, flattened it into an 8 inch oval and stuffed the salmon mixture on one side. Folded it over and pinched the dough to form a mini calzone. I sealed it tight. Then I boiled it for five minutes, topped with dry, minced garlic, and baked at 425° until golden brown.
