Default Salmon roe and eggs. Ideas on combining?

My MIL brought me one pound of salmon roe. It's Easter you see, and she believes it's all about eggs. She already had an omelet for breakfast. Anyone have any ideas, tested or untested, on how I can combine Salmon roe and eggs/egg sauces?

I remember having this dish in a Japanese restaurant, so simple yet very tasty. Basically make some Japanese rice, broil some good salmon seasoned plainly (salt and white pepper) and top the rice, garnish with strips of nori and sprinkle liberally with salmon roe. The brininess of the roe goes great with the other sea items.

Of course, if you're thinking of eggs with eggs I would say do the ultimate Cantonese egg dish, steamed savoury egg custard with chopped thousand year egg, salted duck egg and top liberally with the salmon roe for a Japanese twist. I think it sounds good.

You have any idea how much water you put in the eggs for the custard? I know to steam it very gently, but I can't get a hold of my mom to ask how much water.

Poached eggs on a toasted muffin with hollandaise and a sprinkling of roe on top.

Hard boiled eggs topped with an anchovie (if you like 'em) and a nice blob of roe.

Cones of smoked salmon filled with cream cheese/ sour cream mixed with finely chopped boiled eggand snipped garlic chives and some roe mixed in, or dip the open end of the come into the roe so its sticks onto the filling.
