Step 1
Start by placing the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with water, about an inch over the eggs. Bring the water to a boil, then take the pan off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 15 minutes. After that, drain the water and run the eggs under cold water to cool them down, then peel them once they're cool enough to handle.

Step 2
Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a bowl. Give the yolks a good mash with a fork until they’re crumbly. While the tomatoes are halved, place them cut-side down on a paper towel to let any extra moisture drain off.

Step 3
In another bowl, soften the cream cheese by mashing it with a spoon until smooth. Then add the mashed yolks, smoked salmon, mayo, brown mustard, sour cream, lemon juice, pickle relish, lemon peel, and a teaspoon of smoked paprika. Mix everything together until it’s well combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.

Step 4
Spoon the salmon mixture back into the egg whites and also fill the tomato halves. Sprinkle a little more smoked paprika on top for a bit of color and extra flavor. Arrange everything nicely on a platter and pop it in the fridge for at least an hour before serving so the flavors can meld and it’s nicely chilled.
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines creamy, tangy deviled eggs with the rich, smoky flavor of salmon and the fresh brightness of tomatoes. It’s a perfect balance of textures and tastes that make it a crowd-pleaser at any gathering. Plus, it’s quick to prepare and looks elegant on the plate.
How to serve
Serve these with a crisp green salad or alongside some fresh cucumber slices for a refreshing contrast. They also pair well with a light white wine or sparkling water with lemon to keep the flavors bright.
Storage & leftovers
Store the deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best eaten within two days to maintain freshness and prevent the eggs from drying out. Keep the filling separate if possible and assemble just before serving for the best texture.
