Salmon Stuffed Deviled Eggs
- Yield 16 servings
Along with salmon, eggs are a rich source of vitamin D with 41 IU per egg. These deviled eggs contain the ingredients often served with lox or cured smoked salmon; the smoked paprika adds a gentle heat and smokiness. The filling also makes a satisfying sandwich spread when served on pumpernickel bread; chop the egg whites and add them to the filling.
Ingredients
- 1 -- (5-ounce) can wild Alaskan salmon, drained
- 8 -- hard-cooked eggs
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon capers, minced; plus 16 capers for garnish
- 2 tablespoons minced chives
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- -- Freshly ground black pepper
- -- Smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Mash salmon bones and skin together with fish (or mash bones separately and add back into remainder of fish). Set aside.
- Slice eggs in half lengthwise and remove yolks. Using a fork, mash together yolks, salmon, yogurt, minced capers, chives, mustard, lemon juice and pepper. Spoon yolk mixture into egg white halves. Top with a whole caper and sprinkle with smoked paprika, if using. Serve immediately or cover and chill.
