6 large eggs
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 to 3 ounces premium salmon roe
Fresh chives or dill, finely chopped
Lemon wedges for serving (optional)
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then remove the pan from the heat, cover it, and let the eggs sit for about 10 to 12 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool completely before peeling.
Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks.
Place the yolks in a bowl and mash them with the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
Using a piping bag with a decorative tip creates a polished presentation, but a spoon works just as well for a rustic look.
Finish each deviled egg with a generous spoonful of salmon roe.
The bright orange pearls add a beautiful pop of color while providing a fresh, briny flavor that complements the creamy filling perfectly.
Garnish with chopped chives or fresh dill just before serving.
Salmon roe adds more than visual appeal. Its delicate texture and signature burst of flavor create a pleasant contrast to the rich, creamy egg filling.
The combination is balanced, elegant, and surprisingly simple, making it a favorite for both casual entertaining and formal occasions.

Serve them chilled for the best texture and flavor.
Use fresh, high-quality salmon roe for the brightest color and cleanest flavor. Chill the eggs before serving to help the filling stay firm and refreshing.
Avoid adding too much seasoning to the filling, as the natural brininess of the salmon roe provides plenty of flavor on its own.
Preparing the eggs a few hours in advance allows the flavors to blend while making entertaining easier.
