The Best Lox Bagel Rice Bowl

At our house, we have been making an ultimate lox bagel for a weekend breakfast or brunch for years. And we love a good rice bowl for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, so we knew we had to combine these two favorites into a lox rice bowl that is out of this world amazing! Made with store-bought lox or make your own homemade lox for topping your rice bowl recipe with a dill and chive sauce, soft boiled eggs, fresh dill, and a fresh squeeze of lemon juice from lemon wedges. Perfect for enjoying on a warm, summer evening!
