Ingredients
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
Fresh dill, for garnish
Optional: capers or finely chopped chives for garnish
Instructions
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10–12 minutes.
Transfer eggs to an ice water bath and let cool completely, about 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a small bowl.
Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
Top each deviled egg with a small slice of smoked salmon.
Garnish with fresh dill and, if desired, capers or chives.
Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
Notes
For a smoky twist, try using smoked paprika in the yolk mixture. These can be made a few hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator—just add the smoked salmon and garnishes right before serving for best presentation.
