capers cold-smoked salmon dill more more

6 large eggs
6 oz. cold-smoked salmon, cut into small dice (1 scant cup)
6 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 small red onion, cut into small dice (about 2/3 cup)
1/3 cup capers, drained
2 Tbs. minced fresh dill
1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Put the eggs in a medium saucepan with enough water to cover. Cover the pan and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. As soon as the water boils, remove the pan from the heat and let stand, covered, until the eggs are hard-cooked, 10 minutes. Put the eggs in ice water to cool.

Peel the eggs, chop finely, and put them in a medium bowl. Add the salmon, oil, onion, capers, dill, and lemon juice and zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently but well and serve.

by G.K., 8/11/2009Love it and make it all the time.

by sewapel, 4/10/2009Very good. I used 8 oz salmon instead of 6 oz, and decreased the amount of dill just a tiny bit. We ate it as a light dinner in toasted bread. It was a hit!

by Sile, 3/28/2008Big hit as an appetizer at our Easter dinner. Very easy to make and with no mayo, much less fat that most "egg salads"

by DrDebrah, 11/23/2007Healthy and scrumptious! This was going to be an hor d'ordourve for a party but my husband and I loved it SOOOOO much that we ended up eating it all before the party! You and your guests won't be disappointed, however it might need a little more color .... add ex-small diced red bell pepper to center of toast topped with this.
