These Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs are a nice twist on a classic. Guests love them, but we also like to make a batch to keep in the fridge to snack on. So simple, too!
We’ve been really building up our deviled egg recipe collection over here.
Have you noticed all of the crazy delicious recipes we’ve come up with over the last couple of years? A few of the recipes include avocado deviled eggs and deviled eggs with bacon. But there are loads more, if you poke around in the low carb snacks section of my website.
Today, though, I’m bringing you the recipe for my husband’s all time favorite deviled egg…and that’s saying something because the man knows his deviled eggs!
Chad, the husband, doesn’t do a whole lot of cooking for our family. It makes sense, because I enjoy it and I’m good at it.
But these eggs? He will ask me to add the ingredients to our grocery order and then make the eggs himself, because he loves them that much. I honestly think this might be the only food he’s ever made repeatedly, on his own, again and again. He LOVES them!
And really, what’s not to love about smoked salmon, cream cheese, and creamy deviled eggs? Nothing!

Eggs – You’re going to need some large hard boiled eggs for this recipe! You can prepare them however you wish but I would recommend checking the FAQs section below for a method that makes them easy to peel.
Smoked Salmon – The strong flavors from smoked salmon mix really well with the creamy deviled egg filling.
Filling – The creamy filling for the smoked salmon deviled eggs is a simple, flavorful mix of cream cheese, mayo, Dijon mustard, the egg yolks, and of course the smoked salmon! We also garnish them with Old Bay seasoning.
- Flavor: The taste of the smoked salmon mixed with the creamy cheese, mayo, and mustard is just about the best combination ever! There are so many great flavors in these deviled eggs.
- Party Food: If you’re enjoying the big game or just holding a family gathering or event these deviled eggs are a great appetizer!
How To Make Boiled Eggs:
- Instant Pot Method: We use an Instant Pot for perfect hard-boiled eggs that peel like a dream. Just add the to the liner with one cup of water and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
Do a natural release for 5 minutes and then open the valve. Transfer the egg to an ice bath for 5 more minutes to stop the cooking.
- Stove Top Method: Place the eggs in a sauce pan and add enough cold water to cover the eggs with 1 inch of water.
Place over medium heat and bring to a boil.
As soon as the water is boiling, remove from the heat and cover with a lid.
Let the hard boil eggs set for 15 minutes and then transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking.
This method is easy enough, but you do have to pay to attention so that the eggs don’t overcook. You’ll also want to use older eggs as they peel easier than fresh eggs.
How To Make Deviled Eggs With Smoked Salmon:
- Prepare – To begin, you’ll need some hard boiled eggs. Once you have those peel the eggs and slice them in half. Remove the yolks to a small bowl and set the egg whites aside.
- Filling – To prepare the deviled egg filling add the mayonnaise, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, and salt to a bowl with the egg yolks and use a fork to mash it all together until it is smooth and creamy.
- Salmon – Now you can start folding the smoked salmon into the yolk mixture.
- Finish – All that’s left now is to spoon the smoked salmon deviled egg filling into the egg whites. We also sprinkle on some Old Bay seasoning just before serving!
Variations & Substitutions:
You can modify this recipe however you like! There’s a lot of good ways you can change this up with different ingredients, herbs, or spices. Try some of these:
- Paprika (Or smoked paprika!)
- Fresh Dill
- Fresh Chives
- Cayenne Pepper
- Lemon Juice
- Capers
- Sour Cream
FAQs:
Stored in the refrigerator, deviled eggs are safe to keep for 3 days. When we want deviled eggs all week, we boil enough eggs to make that happen and then just whip up a batch every couple days.
We prefer these smoked salmon deviled eggs made with cold smoked salmon. Cold smoked salmon is smoked at a lower temperature than hot smoked salmon and tends to be much more moist and smooth, while hot smoked salmon is more flaky and can be a bit drier. Either cold or hot smoked salmon will work here, so just grab what you prefer!

SO GOOD!!! I only had 5 eggs so I just eyed the ingredients. My three children and I devoured them! The seven year old was late to show up and only got one and she is asking me to make another batch immediately.
