Sounds like an excellent sandwich to me.

It's good any way you have it, lox, 'real' smoked salmon, whatever.
With sliced red onion, maybe tomatoe also. Never, ever heard of it any
way but on a bagel, though - no one eats lox and cream cheese on bread,
just a bagel.

That's damned unAmerican of you. PB&J is a classic - I lived on it when
I was a kid, and my kids have as well.

All the variants are good, e.g., cream cheese and jelly. PB&J is also
fine on cinnamon-raisin bread - we like that here. The PB also needed
be PB - we use homemade almond butter instead, basically just dry
roasted almonds with a bit of peanuts and cashews added for flavor, and
non-virgin olive oil to get the right consistency. No salt, no sugar,
tastes fantastic, and a great nutritional profile, too.
