Deviled eggs are a timeless appetizer that never goes out of style, but when paired with smoked salmon, they become a luxurious treat perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re hosting a holiday gathering, a brunch, or a special dinner, Deviled Eggs with Smoked Salmon add an elegant and flavorful twist to the classic recipe. The combination of creamy egg yolk filling, tangy mustard, and the rich, smoky flavor of salmon creates a delightful bite that’s both savory and satisfying.
To make these deviled eggs, the hard-boiled egg whites are halved, and the yolks are carefully removed and mashed. The yolks are then mixed with mayonnaise, a touch of mustard, lemon juice, and seasoning to create a smooth, creamy filling. The richness of the filling pairs perfectly with the delicate smoked salmon, which is gently chopped and added on top of each egg for a burst of flavor. The salmon adds a subtle smokiness and a silky texture that elevates the eggs, making them feel more indulgent without overwhelming the other flavors.
For an added touch of color and flair, garnish each deviled egg with small slices of smoked salmon, fresh dill, and a sprinkle of capers. The dill complements the salmon perfectly, and the capers add a pop of briny flavor that cuts through the richness of the egg filling. These eggs are as visually stunning as they are delicious, with the deep pink of the salmon contrasting beautifully against the white and yellow of the egg.
Deviled Eggs with Smoked Salmon are a fantastic appetizer for those looking to add a little sophistication to their spread. They pair wonderfully with sparkling wine, champagne, or a crisp white wine, making them a perfect addition to a celebratory meal. The smooth texture of the filling combined with the smoky flavor of the salmon makes each bite a treat that will leave your guests coming back for more.

These are the best deviled eggs I’ve ever made! The smoked salmon adds such a rich flavor. 5 stars!
I tried this but it just didn’t taste right. I think there’s too much mayo. 😕
Yum! My family loved these at our cookout. Even the kids ate them! 😍
Absolutely delicious! Best deviled eggs I’ve ever made, smoked salmon is genius!
Super easy to make! I did it in less than 30 minutes. Yum!
I found the mustard taste too strong. I might skip it next time.
I love the mustard in these! Adds such a nice kick! Maybe try a little less next time if it was too much.
I don’t get why mustard is needed at all! Can’t you just skip it altogether? Seems a bit pointless to me.
Simple n yummy. My kids liked it! 👍
Simple? Maybe. But what’s with the smoked salmon? Sounds fancy for kids. 🧐
I’m glad your kids liked it! Deviled eggs are such a great snack for them. 😄
Wow, these are fancy! I made them for a party and everyone loved it!
These are delicious! The smoked salmon adds a nice flavor. Will make again!
Deviled eggs with fish? Kinda weird but okay. Not my fave.
Easy and tasty! I added some paprika for color.
I love deviled eggs, but without the salmon! Just me?
I totally get it! Not everyone likes salmon. Deviled eggs are great even without it!
Totally gonna try this with caviar next time! Fancy and yummy. 😋
These were a hit at my party! Everyone loved them, especially the salmon.
Just ok, not the best deviled eggs I’ve ever had. Kinda bland.
Yum! I didn’t have dill so I used parsley. Still turned out great!
Not sure about the combination of salmon and eggs. Sounds off to me.
Easy recipe! But I used mustard instead of Dijon and it was still great!
I messed up and put the yolks in without mixing them! 😂 Still ate them tho.
Eww salmon! I would never eat that in an egg. Gross!
These deviled eggs were a hit at my party! Everyone loved the smoked salmon twist. Will make again!
Can u even call this deviled eggs? Where’s the spice?! I add hot sauce to mine!!
Looks easy enough. Can you make it without mustard? My kid hates it.
A bit too much mayo! I prefer a creamier texture, but overall it’s okay.
I actually love it with mayo! Makes it nice and creamy. Maybe you could try adding a bit more lemon juice next time for a different flavor!
Dill is so annoying, but my mom loves it. Gave it a shot anyway!
Seriously? Who puts fish in eggs. I was skeptical but wow, impressed!
I thought the same thing! But it actually brings a really nice flavor. Definitely a keeper!
Fish in eggs? Sounds weird. I’m not sure I’ll try that. Maybe just stick to plain eggs.
I didn’t have dill but used parsley. Still awesome! Thanks for the recipe!
I don’t know, but I’d think parsley would change the whole flavor. Dill is kinda essential, right? Just saying.
Glad to hear it worked out with parsley! It’s a great sub if you run out of dill. Gotta love flexibility in cooking! 😊
I messed up the boiled eggs and they cracked. Still tasted alright tho.
If the eggs are cracked, how can they taste good? You should’ve been more careful!
Cracked eggs happen to the best of us! At least they tasted good. 😄
This recipe is so good! Never thought to add salmon before.
I found the taste too fishy for my liking. Maybe less salmon next time?
Too much mayo, I think. Made it kinda gooey. 😕
I agree! I cut back on mayo too, it makes them less messy. 😬
