These ultimate deviled eggs transform your Easter finds into party-food favorites. To dress them up for a brunch or other gathering, top each egg with a small dollop of salmon roe.

more about:

6 large hard-cooked eggs
4 oz. cold-smoked salmon, very finely diced (about 1/2 cup)

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbs. minced red onion
2 Tbs. capers, rinsed and finely chopped
1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. packed finely grated lemon zest

Peel and halve the eggs lengthwise. Remove the yolks and crumble them into a medium bowl. Add the salmon, 3 Tbs. of the chives, the mayonnaise, onion, capers, lemon juice, zest, and 1/8 tsp. pepper and mix. Mound the filling into the egg whites. Garnish with the remaining 1 Tbs. chives and several grinds of black pepper.

by skipp84, 4/26/2011Everyone loved these as an Easter appetizer-even the self-professed smoked salmon haters. Could have easily doubled the recipe. The balsamic capers I used added an extra layer of flavor.

by pookie3460, 4/25/2011Excellent recipe. I prefer my Deviled Eggs a bit lighter on the mayo. I used just enough mayo to bind the other ingredients together. Flavors were bold and distinct. Yum!!! my new go to recipe.

by ahroberts, 3/28/2010I have made these several times for parties and they are always the first to go!

by HueLien, 12/25/2009Who would want deviled eggs any other way after having them with smoked salmon. This is an incredibly easy way to put the festive back into eggs!
