Zest the lemon, skin the salmon and then dice into small 1 to 2inch pieces, put in the freezer for 10 minutes to get really cold.

Put cold eggs into boiling water and boil for 6 minutes, then run them under cold water until completely cold. Add the fresh salmon in to a food processor and blitz for 20 seconds, then add the smoked salmon and blitz again 20 seconds.

Add chopped parsley, zest, salt and pepper and blitz briefly before spooning into a bowl and refrigerate. Time to peel the eggs, its easier to do this under the cold water.

Prepare your crumbing station, flour - beaten egg and crumb in a row. spoon an egg sized piece of salmon mixture and flatten to the size of your palm, now put an egg in the centre

Doing this makes more sense than describing in words, buttery delicately work the salmon mixture around the egg, have damp hands so not to get messy. when the egg is completely encased just gently squeeze it all the way around to get it evenly coated. Now roll in the flour and carefully pat off the excess flour.

Sit in the egg and with a slotted spoon roll around to coat evenly, lift out of the egg and allow excess egg to drip off, now into the crumb and again carefully coat completely. Do this with all the eggs and sit on a plate in the fridge.

Heat vegetable oil to 180c or 356f approx in a pan making sure there is at least a couple of inches spare for the oil to rise. (Even better if you have a deep-fat fryer. Gently lower into the oil and deep fry 2 at a time for 6 minutes. You can eat immediately or cool to room temp, I had mine cold the next day.

You can see how runny the yolks are, if you prefer a firmer yolk boil for 7 or even 8 minutes. feel free to watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YXobHhXIg0&t=34s
