Vegan Smoked Carrot Salmon
The most delicious vegan alternative for smoked salmon. You won't have to miss out on this delicious smokey flavour ever again!
Ingredients
Carrot "Salmon"
- 5-6 large carrots cut into ribbons
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Marinade
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 2 nori snack sheets, finely diced
- 1 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tsp liquid smoke
- 1 dash garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Using a mandoline slicer, or a vegetable peeler, cut your carrots into long thin ribbons. Place the carrot ribbons into a baking dish and add 1 tbsp of olive oil, a little salt and pepper, and mix well.
- Bake the carrots for 25 minutes or until they are tender and can be pierced with a fork.
- While the carrots are baking, make the marinade.
- To make the marinade, finely chop the nori sheets into small bits and add into a bowl with the rest of the marinade ingredients. Mix well to combine and set aside.
- Remove baked carrots from the oven and add the lox marinade. Mix well to combine and allow the carrots to marinate for at least 1 hour. (Marinating overnight is even better!)
- Serve anywhere you would enjoy smoked salmon and enjoy! This is perfect on a carrot lox bagel.

Notes
Nori Sheets:
Any seaweed snack sheet will work in this recipe. Seaweed however, should not be removed from this recipe as it adds the "fishy" flavour we want in a salmon substitute.
Marinate:
This carrot salmon can be served within 1 hour of marinating. If you plan to make it ahead, it's even better after 24 hours!
Storing:
Vegan carrot salmon lasts up to 4 days in the fridge. It's best to make this ahead, then serve on your favourite dishes.
