What salmon makes deviled eggs really tasty
Frozen salmon, a salmon fillet or smoked salmon after all? This point clearly goes to the smoked salmon. The reason for this is that it is very quick. All you have to do is take it out of the packaging and cut it into small pieces.
The smoky flavor goes wonderfully with the egg spread. If you have a piece of salmon fillet left over from the day before, you can turn it into a delicious fish cream. I'll give you detailed instructions a little further down.
Alternatively, you can of course use any other smoked fish. However, salmon makes this recipe a visual eye-catcher due to its color. Trout, mackerel and co. also taste wonderful, but seem rather boring in terms of color.
If you decide to use a different fish, I recommend mixing the fish with the egg mixture. As a decoration, you can use a very thinly sliced piece of carrot instead of the salmon. Or you just go for greens - then dill, parsley or chives are optimal.
How many eggs can you eat per day?
A fresh fish fillet for the deviled eggs
You are not a fan of smoked salmon or still have a fresh fish fillet to use up? Then you can of course also prepare deviled eggs with it.
Fry the salmon on both sides until it is light pink and cooked through. Pluck it into small pieces with a fork. Add a little salt and lemon to the salmon and then mix it with the ingredients of the cream from the recipe.
I like to use fish fillets from the previous day in this way to make a spread that also tastes great in wraps.
Maybe you've seen salmon cream in a tube in the supermarket. I use it only in an emergency and when I have nothing else at hand. Taste-wise, the paste from the tube is a bit boring. But you can refine it with spices.
By the way, the best way to peel the eggs is to rinse them after cooking and let them cool.
Stuffed eggs with salmon
Ingredients
- 4 Eggs
- 1 TL Horseradish
- 1 TL Mustard
- 2 EL Cream cheese
- 1 TL Dill
- Salt and pepper
- 20 g Smoked salmon
Anleitung
- Hard boil the eggs. This will take about 10 minutes. Quench and peel.
- Halve the eggs and get the yolks out of the whites with a spoon.
- Cut off part of the egg white halves at the bottom so that they do not fall over and can stand on the plate.
- Mash the egg yolk with a fork. Cut the rest of the egg whites into small pieces and add them.
- Now stir the horseradish, mustard, cream cheese, dill, salt and pepper into the egg yolk. You should now have a creamy mass that is not too liquid.
- Put the mixture into a piping bag and fill the egg halves with it. Cut the smoked salmon into small pieces and decorate the eggs with fresh herbs, pepper or caviar.

How you can refine deviled eggs with salmon

- Sour cream

What you should know about durability
Yes, the eggs do well at buffets, so would be great if you could prepare them 3-4 days in advance. But that's not such a good idea. The stuffed eggs with salmon you should prepare maximum 1 day before.
To be on the safe side, fish and eggs should not be stored for too long if they are mixed. Another problem is that the fish and stuffing will become dry. What you can do: Store the spread in a tupperware box and fill the eggs fresh.
When doing this, make sure that you also put the halved egg whites in a box with a lid, otherwise they will become dry and take on the typical refrigerator smell.
The eggs cannot be frozen. If there are still some left after 2-3 days, you can chop them and put them on a potato salad. This makes it creamy and the fish gives it a delicious touch.
Our conclusion
Stuffed eggs with salmon will enhance any buffet. They are not only a visual eye-catcher, but also highly recommended in terms of taste. If you have too many eggs left over from Easter, you can use them very well with this recipe. Enjoy it and good luck!
