Vegan Smoked Salmon is a plant-based alternative made from marinated carrots that delivers a smoky, silky, and savory experience perfect for bagels, sandwiches, or sushi.

Ingredients

  • 4 large carrots, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon liquid smoke
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon kelp granules or crumbled nori (optional)
  • Fresh dill, capers, and red onion slices for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add peeled carrots and cook for 8–10 minutes until just fork-tender but not mushy. Drain and let cool.
  2. Once cool, use a vegetable peeler or mandoline to shave the carrots into long, thin ribbons.
  3. In a bowl or shallow dish, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar or lemon juice, liquid smoke, smoked paprika, salt, and kelp or nori if using.
  4. Add the carrot ribbons to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
  5. Serve chilled or at room temperature on bagels, in sushi, wraps, or salads.

Notes

  • Marinate overnight for the most developed flavor.
  • Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free version.
  • Kelp or nori adds a subtle sea-like flavor but is optional.
  • Glass containers are best for storage to avoid staining.
