Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.
After cooking, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for 5 minutes. Gently peel the shells off the eggs once cooled.
Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Set the egg white halves aside on a platter.
To the bowl with egg yolks, add cream cheese, mayonnaise, smoked salmon (finely chopped), lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Mash and mix until smooth and creamy.
Spoon or pipe the mixture back into the cavities of the egg white halves, filling them generously.
Garnish the stuffed eggs with a sprinkle of paprika and additional chopped cilantro, if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese and Cilantro Stuffed Eggs!
