To create these heavenly bites, you’ll need a few simple ingredients:

Using a piping bag or a spoon, generously fill the egg white halves with the smoked salmon mixture. You can pipe or spoon the filling into the whites for a picture-perfect presentation.
Garnish the deviled eggs with additional chopped smoked salmon, fresh dill, or even a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color. Serve chilled, and prepare to bask in the oohs and aahs of your impressed guests.
