DILL! I cut the dill back to 1/2 teaspoon for 6 eggs and it overpowered the eggs, the salmon, and left me tasting nothing but dill for 15 minutes afterward. Some of the people at the reunion managed to choke down half an egg, but most took one bite and discretely threw the rest of the egg away. I should probably have tried this recipe out in private first. Using fresh dill might have salvaged this. One teaspoon dried dillweed packs about as much punch as 4 teaspoons fresh, so it would be a lot subtler, but fresh dill has a delicate top note that the dried lacks. It cuts the chalky aftertaste dill can have.
