Were going to skip that step and use the mayo in our fridge.
I usedDukes Mayo, my go-to brand.
Kewpie mayo would work just fine as well, and dont fret if you have Hellmanns.

Theres no need to run out to buy Dukes instead.
Along with mayo, youll need eggs, smoked salmon, fresh dill, and cayenne pepper.
Normally, I always cool cooked eggs down with an ice bath, but my ice maker broke.
I mashed the yolks with a fork until smooth, then added the mayonnaise, paprika, and salmon.
Instead of fresh dill, I improvised with scallions I had in the fridge.
While Jamie Olivers recipe doesnt call for seasoning, I added salt and pepper to taste for extra flavor.
The result was fancy-looking deviled eggs full of color and flavor.
The creamy yolk filling was rich and velvety, with a subtle smoky depth from the salmon.
The scallions added a fresh, oniony bite that cut through the richness, balancing the flavors.
The egg whites were the perfect vessels and provided a tender, slightly springy base.
Then, as a finisher, I drizzledextra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)over the fully assembled deviled eggs.
