Notes
Cook large batches of hard boiled eggs ahead of time and leave in the fridge.
Season veggies while you saute for added and more complex flavors.

Hard Boiled Smoked Salmon
Servings 1
Calories 192kcal
Ingredients
- 2 oz Smoked Salmon no nitrites
- 2 egg hard boiled
Instructions
- Bring water in a sauce pan to a boil. Lower eggs in water and boil for 11 minutes.
- Remove eggs and run under cold water immediately, then peel.
- Chop hard boiled eggs and add to bowl with salmon.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. (Dill optional)
Notes
I like to add fresh grated turmeric root, about 1/4 tsp before I add anything to the pan. Experiment and add some onion, scallion or garlic if you like those flavors. The key is to keep the pan on medium and not let it get too hot. Your flavors will burn.
