Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs
Creamy, with a hint of smoked salmon, these smoked salmon deviled eggs are perfect for Easter or Mother’s Day brunch–or a summer picnic.
When spring comes around, I start to dream of deviled eggs. This would be in complete contrast to my youth, when I found them completely boring, dusted with paprika and sitting on a deviled egg plate.
But now that I’m grown up, I’ve graduated to fancier versions. And it’s completely turned me around.
A blogging friend has been making Asian Deviled Eggs. So I decided to try my hand at Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs!
They’re even great on a keto diet—a rarity in an appetizer!
Have you discovered pre-cooked, pre-peeled eggs yet? Well they’ve totally changed my life. I had tried every way of hard cooking eggs—steaming, baking, boiling. And experimented with older versus newer eggs. I finally concluded that brown eggs will never peel cleanly. 
So, I started out this recipe with the idea of using 6 eggs, which is the number in the package. But I ended up with leftover filling, so upped the number to 8. Someday, I’ll go back and adjust the quantities.
In either case, if you have any extra, the filling is also great on crackers. Just ask my husband, who polished off the leftovers. Plus 8 deviled eggs halves.
Yup, he thinks my keto is amazing!
Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs

These look so decadent and delicious. I know my family will love them!
Oh yummy. The dill with the smoked salmon makes them almost like gravalax.
I used a regular smoked salmon, but would use gravalax in a heartbeat.
My husband adores salmon so I cannot wait to make these for him. I think it might be a good Friday dish for Lent.
Yes, that would be a good idea for Lent!
These are super gorgeous! I recently made deviled eggs with tuna in them and loved them.
I’ll bet tuna was delicious too Karen!
This has given me a great idea for our Easter Monday brunch – thank you so much!
I hope you enjoy!
I have never met a deviled egg that I didn’t love! Adding smoke salmon is a wonderful idea, and I’ve never even thought about buying pre-cooked eggs. In fact, I’ve never seen them… I’ll have to take a look around (after the self isolation).
I found them right by the regular eggs. How surprising is that–I usually expect things to be somewhere that doesn’t make sense :). Yes, I am doing a lot of ad libbing. Now I realize how badly organized I am and how many grocery store trips I take!
What a fabulous version of deviled eggs – they look so creamy!
Fancy deviled eggs indeed! LOVE this!
Yup, I guess growing up isn’t all bad!
Oh I love how you fancied up deviled eggs! What a fun idea!
Thanks!
