Smoked Salmon Zesty Kedgeree with Soft-Boiled Eggs

Smoked salmon kedgeree with basmati rice, capers, and soft-boiled eggs on a white serving plate.

Kedgeree is a delicious, gluten-free rice dish with roots in British-Indian cooking — traditionally made with smoked fish like haddock, this version swaps in hot smoked salmon that pairs beautifully with our zesty Bombay Bonanza Rub. You get chunky flakes of fish, warm, spiced rice, and oozy soft-boiled eggs all in one dish. It’s mild, high in protein, and easy to dial up with a sprinkle of chilli flakes. If you’ve never tried kedgeree and love smoked fish — this one’s a must.
