Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 100 grams Smoked salmon
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Capers (optional)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and allow the eggs to simmer for 9-10 minutes.
Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for 5 minutes. Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into small chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, smoked salmon (torn into small pieces), mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
Add the chopped fresh dill, sliced green onions, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. If using capers, mix them in as well.
Gently stir all the ingredients together until well combined, but be careful not to overly mash the eggs.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or lemon juice if desired.
Serve immediately or cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve on bread, crackers, or over a bed of mixed greens.
