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!
Made these for a party and they were gone in minutes! Everybody loved them. Just don’t skimp on the dill.
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. 😄
Yum! Just yum! The lemon juice is a perfect touch. Also added a bit of hot sauce for fun. LOL.
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!
Deviled eggs r yum!!!!!!! But u forgot to say to boil the eggs first lol. My mom makes them better!
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!
Recipe seems interesting but I don’t like salmon, can I replace it with tuna? 🤔
Instructions too complicated! I can barely boil eggs. Why can’t a deviled egg just be… ya know, devilish? 😅
Dill is so annoying, but my mom loves it. Gave it a shot anyway!
Deviled eggs with salmon sounds kinda fancy for what is basically an egg snack, lol. But okay, it worked. Family asked for the recipe.
Wait… deviled eggs with salmon? I dunno. I feel like the fish is gonna take over the whole thing. Still, if you say it worked then maybe I’ll try it… but I’d probably add more dill, not less.
Honestly that sounds way fancier than regular deviled eggs 😅 but if it was good enough that your family asked for the recipe, I’m in. The salmon + dill combo is such a win.
I love dill! This is a great twist on a classic recipe. Easy to follow!
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! 😊
Eggs and mayo? Eww, that’s disgusting!!!
I actually think it’s a great combo! The creaminess of mayo with the richness of eggs is delicious. You should give it a try!
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. 😄
Looks fancy but way too much work for a simple dish. Just mix up the yolks and mayo! Who needs dill?
This recipe is so good! Never thought to add salmon before.
I didn’t have any dill, so I used parsley instead. Still turned out pretty good, but not the same 😕. Might try again with the right ingredients.
I found the taste too fishy for my liking. Maybe less salmon next time?
These deviled eggs were a hit at my party! Everyone loved the smoked salmon twist. Will make again!
Too much mayo, I think. Made it kinda gooey. 😕
I agree! I cut back on mayo too, it makes them less messy. 😬
These are absolutely delicious! The smoked salmon really adds an amazing flavor. Will definitely make them again!
I tried this recipe last week! They were a hit at the party. Thanks for sharing!
This recipe is missing something. Maybe pickle relish? Idk, something’s off. I won’t make these again.
These are the best deviled eggs I’ve ever made! The smoked salmon adds such a lovely flavor! Will be making them again for the party.
Followed the recipe exactly, but they kinda fell apart. Maybe I Overmixed? Who knows!
Yeah, overmixing can make them too loose! Maybe try not mixing as much next time. They still sound yummy tho!
Not bad, but I prefer the classic recipe. The salmon was a bit too fishy for my taste.
Smoked salmon? What is this, a restaurant? I just wanted regular deviled eggs. Disappointed.
I tried this recipe but didn’t have smoked salmon, so I used canned tuna. It was okay, but I can imagine it would be better with salmon. Probably won’t try again.
Pretty tasty, but mine got a bit too loose (maybe my mayo was runnier?). Next time I’ll chop the salmon finer and drain if needed.
These were such a hit at my brunch! The dill + smoked salmon combo is perfect, and piping made them look restaurant-level.
Not gonna lie, I was skeptical about putting smoked salmon in deviled eggs, but this actually worked. I did add a tiny extra lemon tho, kinda made the yolk mix more “lively”. Next time I’ll try finer chopped salmon.
Yesss—dill + smoked salmon is such a good move. I made these for brunch too and they disappeared fast 😂 The piping tip really makes them look fancy!
These are absolutely delicious! The smoked salmon gives a fancy touch. Will make these for my next brunch for sure!
So easy to make and really fancy looking! I added a bit of hot sauce to the mix. 🔥
YUM! Perfect appetizer for my party last week! Everyone loved them! Thanks for sharing!
OMG these are delish! I didn’t even think I liked salmon but WOW! Thanks for the recipe!
I tried this once and it failed: my eggs were impossible to halve cleanly and the yolk mix tasted flat. I might’ve under-seasoned—salmon can be salty though.
I dunno… halving eggs “cleanly” is basically impossible, lol. Mine always looks messy but still tastes fine. If the yolk tastes flat, maybe you didn’t mash enough? Also smoked salmon can be salty, so add salt last, after tasting the filling.
Ugh, that’s rough 😕 Halving eggs can be tricky—try cooling them fully and using a really sharp knife (even dipping in warm water helps). Also, the yolk mix being flat could just be needing more mustard/lemon or salt—smoked salmon varies a lot in saltiness.
I tried this but used tuna instead of salmon. Not the same but turned out ok.
Good recipe but it didn’t taste like anything special. Just eggs and some fish.
Yum! I added some cayenne pepper for a kick, and now I’m addicted! Thanks for sharing!
I dunno about adding cayenne to eggs. Wouldn’t that ruin the taste? Seems risky.
Cayenne pepper? That’s a genius idea! I’ll try that next time for sure! Glad you liked it!
I mixed it up and used tuna instead of salmon. Still good, but I may have ruined a classic? 🤔
These were ok, I prefer my eggs plain or with just mayo. I think like people who fancy up their food a bit much 🤷♂️
I don’t know about the salmon; I just like my deviled eggs classic with paprika. But if you like fish, this might be for you.
I get that! Classic deviled eggs are the best, but smoked salmon adds a fancy touch. Maybe just try a small batch?
Why would you ruin deviled eggs with fish? It’s just not right. Stick with paprika!
Deviled eggs are always good, but I’m not sure if I like the salmon part. Can I just do regular ones? 🤔
Eggs + mayo + fish? Nah. Disagree with this. Who even thinks of mixing these things?
These deviled eggs are amazing! The smoked salmon gives them a unique twist. I added a bit of hot sauce for a kick!
This recipe is way too fancy for me! Eggs shouldn’t need fish. Not my cup of tea.
I didn’t have Dijon so I used regular mustard and it was… fine. I think Dijon is the key though. Also, more dill on top please!
Not gonna lie, I was nervous about mixing smoked salmon into deviled eggs, but it turned out really good. The texture is smooth and the flavor pops.
Yum!!! So good! Everyone loved them at the party. Will definitely make again!
Sounds amazing! I can’t wait to try this recipe for my next gathering. Thanks for sharing!
Idk, deviled eggs are kinda old-fashioned. What if I just put the salmon on toast instead?
Delish! Perfect for brunch. I used smoked trout instead, worked great too!
Brunch? Aren’t these more of an appetizer? 🤔
I never thought of using smoked trout, that sounds tasty! Gonna try it next time!
I followed it pretty closely, but I added a little extra lemon because I like things tangier. Still creamy and not fishy at all—great balance.
I dunno, lemon can overpower the smoked salmon for me. But if yours was still balanced, fair play. I might try “a little” next time.
Love that! Extra lemon makes them feel really fresh. Glad they stayed creamy and didn’t turn fishy—my biggest fear with smoked salmon 😅
I dunno, doesn’t egg and fish mix well? Seems strange to me.
