These creamy smoked salmon deviled eggs combine the smoky richness of salmon with smooth cream cheese and fresh dill for a perfect party appetizer or elegant snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 3 ounces smoked salmon, finely chopped
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon capers, finely chopped (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Smoked paprika, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a pot. Cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool completely (about 5 minutes).
  2. Gently tap each egg to crack the shell and peel under running water. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks into a medium bowl.
  3. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add 4 ounces softened cream cheese, 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Fold in 3 ounces finely chopped smoked salmon, 2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill, and 1 tablespoon chopped capers if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the salmon-cream cheese mixture, forming a small mound.
  6. Sprinkle with smoked paprika and a small sprig of dill for garnish. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use older eggs for easier peeling. If filling is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or extra mayonnaise to loosen. Finely chop smoked salmon for balanced flavor. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld. Can be made a day ahead and garnished just before serving.
