  • 6 spring onions trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp capers rinsed
  • 10 cocktail gherkins roughly chopped

  • to taste salt and freshly ground black pepper

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and add the eggs. Cook for 5 minutes, then drain and run under cold water. Set the eggs aside.

  3. Add the red onion and cook for 2 more minutes. Break up the salmon fillets using a spatula.
